Closing the Loop



Duration: June 2015 – June 2017

Partners: StexfiberTexperium, Moyzo, SaxionStudio Judith ter Haar and Tous les Cheris

Financed by: Provincie Gelderland and Gemeente Arnhem

 

In this project Future Makers ArtEZ, together with its partners, will research how locally-produced fibres such as hemp could be made into an attractive fashion or textile product.

How could fashion and clothing designs using locally-produced fibres be incorporated into a circular production system, and how should locally-produced ‘fashion’ be marketed? In the same way we market organic food? Or should another approach be taken?

The project is supported by the province of Gelderland and the municipality of Arnhem.

The video below shows the productionproces from fiber to fabric:

UPDATE: Students from the Master Creative Industries from the Radboud University in Nijmegen created this movie to conceptualise and visualise the project as their end-of-year assignment.
