Meet Yoo-Sun, marine biologist in 2050. Climate change has modified the surface of the Earth and most land is under water. Humans have learnt to use algae and seaweed as primary material to manufacture technical clothing and work with this new ecosystem.

I am super chuffed to wrap one of the most amazing projects I have had the opportunity to work on. I was chosen by the charity @climatechangeallchange to design and teach a curriculum in my local primary school to help 10 year old pupils to create their own fashion solutions to tomorrow's challenges.
.
This look was manufactures by myself but drawn and conceptualised by a team of very talented little girls. They created their own materials including cork leather, crystal patterns and algae sequins. I recreated these sequins in real life with real algae powder, crystallography and cork leather.

This project is part of a national programme involving many design disciplines, stay tuned to discover the rest of the projects ! The process and drawings by the children can be seen in the highlights !
