We would just like to take this opportunity to tell you about our work at this year's London Design Festival. This year, the festival takes place between the eighteenth and twenty sixth of September, and in conjunction with our partners, TRAID, who will be running their famous Sew Good workshops and Contemporary Applied Arts, we will be running a series of Co-Designing workshops.
Annie Sherburne, an internationally renowned designer who has work on display in The Louvre and the Rockerfeller Center in New York, is the founder of EcoFactory, and she invites us all to share her vision.
EcoFactory aims to create an ideal of Heaven on Earth, with our fabulous gipsy caravan being towed around London, we aim to re-create all the magic of your childhood, taking you into a perfect dream state.
The Co-Designing workshops will encourage members of the public to bring old or unwanted garments to the workshops and have them re-designed by the biggest names in UK design, as well as the finest in new, young design talent. Annie has put together a fantastic collective of young designers, including the exceptionally talented Hannah Jefferies, winner of the 2008 Textprint Print Prize
EcoFactory's vision is to ensure that members of the public can create new garments out of old ones, therefore recycling and recreating new garments and designs we can love forever. As well as securing employment for UK fashion and design graduates.
