Mark Liu goes scrapless



UK prodigy, Mark Liu, is approaching eco fashion differently. Concerned about the scraps of fabric and notions that end up on the floor and then in landfills, Mark Liu put his creativity to the task of reducing this waste. He not only creates stylish patterns, but he designs the pattern pieces to fit on a single piece of fabric like a jigsaw puzzle. This idea sounds more like a Zen exercise or art instead of wearable fashion. But his pieces are wearable and they look amazing. Beyond his creative pattern making, he also developed techniques which tailor garments to create zero waste. The result are complex, structured and unique garments.
