My first thoughts about sustainable aesthetics:

When I think of aesthetics, the first thing in my mind is the appearance/look of something. For me this is a visual experience. Now when we connect aesthetics to sustainability, I understand that as a change in the way of creating a design for a certain product. Sustainability means working together with my environment - not against it. I take the items it is offering me and create something new out of it. I don't need everything to be "brand-new" - I can make it look like it is way more new.


I am highly interested in fashion and the sustainable way of creating/purchasing clothes. For me it can be a way of showing personality in a visual appearance. While I researched about this topic I stumbled upon a certain culture in the fashion industry - "thrifting". It is about reusing "old" or thrown-away clothes to make some new ones or even other things out of them. I would like to try this out and make a research/comparison with self-made vs. purchased/shipped/mass-producted clothing.

Step 1: Searching for fabric/clothes which could be used

Starting point: Which fabric can I find at home?


Old pants, tablecloth - squared pattern

some parts are ripped, not wearable anymore - but nice pattern, comfortable fabric


Bedsheet nobody uses anymore

Too slippery to work as a bedsheet, at some parts holes - but fresh colour, high qualitative silk


Old curtain

A bit outdated - but still in good condition


Fabric net thing for cuddly toys

At some parts ripped apart - but nice colour, interesting fabric


Leftover gift ribbons

Too short for present-wrapping - but beautiful colours, could be interesting for some details


I am still not shure what I want to make out of it - maybe fancy clothing or something more like art.


Step 2: Searching for inspiration on how to work with textile

General forms of art I could include: Journaling/Sketchbooking

Watercolour/Aquarell

-> (Maybe I could use different kinds of fabric layers to create new colours like in watercolour drawings?)
