Solar Wear Tattoo: Rethinking design, addressing ecological sustainability

What is it about?

Environmental issues concern the sustainability of global resources, needed for the survival of human kind. One of the main ecological concerns, in terms of maintaining life on hearth, is water. Water, which is responsible for the existence of almost, if not, every life form on the planet, is also a resource that is widely affected by mankind’s industrial and manufacturing systems. The fashion industry is no exception and, as well as industrial productions in other areas, are in need of urgent action regarding the present problem, so that natural resources can be provided to future generations to come. Water consumed in the creation of materials and products is one concern, but also the industrial print left on the water during the usage and washing processes on any kind of fashion apparel worn on an aquatic environment should be taken into consideration and revised.
