Foil it!


Inspired by the recent Martin Margiela exhibition at Somerset House, TED organised a D Day (Durabilty Day) workshop for its members. Durability Day explored hands on print processes to upcycle our unwanted garments. Investing time and reinventing our wardrobe by reintroducing a new elements allowed us to reconnect with our disused clothes. A bit of silver foil on my top gave it a new lease of life and it suddenly became a precious item again, who needs London Fashion Week.
