REFASHIONED/

KRISTIINA KUTSER

‘Refashioned’ is a limited-edition coffee table book accompanied by online features of its highlights. It aims to emphasise different issues within the fashion industry such as the exploitation of natural resources, animals, and humans through beautiful imagery. The book presents a fresh outlook on ethical fashion; exhibiting diverse images and small amounts of text on ethical concepts such as protecting our environment, removing the use of animals from fashion, carbon neutrality, etc.

 

It highlights not only problems, but showcases the beauty of ethically created garments, accessories and beauty products. Refashioned was created in collaboration with up-and-coming creative individuals and companies who are a part of the ethical and sustainable movement including photographers and makeup artists. All items in the book are ethically produced, second-hand or pre-owned with every aspect of book production critically and mindfully considered.

 

The project explores how we interact with the planet and its resources by combining diverse imagery and showing fashion juxtaposed with wildlife and objects linked to the subject matter. Titles and images do not directly reference specific issues. This invites interpretation of imagery, thus appealing to an audience typically uninterested in ethics. Although it aims to appeal to a wide-range of demographics; the core customer is a young woman in her early twenties interested in cultural matters and the creative industries.
