I absolutely love the challenge that comes with sustainability and I am determined to discover unorthodox solutions to break the status quo.
what drew you to apply to our design challenge?
I’ve had my eye on Ambercycle for a few years and was excited to hear about this opportunity to work with their new regenerated cycora™ yarn. The design challenge was perfectly in line with my goals as a brand, as I always develop products starting with raw materials with the goal of minimizing waste using unique knitting technology, such as Shima Seiki’s WholeGarment 3D-knitting machines. I’m excited for this chance for KNARLI to collaborate with Ambercyle since our company values and mission are in line with each other.
what message do you hope to get across through your design?
I want to break any aesthetic stereotypes that many people assume with eco-friendly labels. My vision for fashion’s future is that the norm will be for all labels to be constantly conscious of sustainable practices while carrying their own unique brand DNA. I hope that KNARLI will be able to set an example for other labels.
