Fabric of Nature

Fabric of Nature is a sustainable clothing label.

All pieces are hand-made, environmentally friendly, and all created in Australia. The concepts in my work explore ideas of a sense of disconnect between people and our natural environments around us.

My label is about showing an appreciation and connection to natural environments through the types of techniques, materials and garment design.  Naturally dying fabric with eucalyptus leaves is a meaningful part of my collection where the trees leave a direct memory from the natural environment, telling a story on the garment. By using tissue silks that are naturally dyed acts to mirror the fragility of our natural environments and bring awareness of the human impacts we can have on our natural environments.

I also explore upcycling and recycling materials previously using more heavy work wear clothing like denim and high vis shirts as a contrast to the silks. I deconstruct and reconstruct recycled work wear that are worn, faded and bleached from the sun where the fabric tells a story of its past life working in the outdoors but also creating a new life for the worn out clothing saving it from going to landfill.
