How sustainable is sustainable? My project, "Solid Core", can answer that for you. The inspiration comes from my family’s rice factory in India with the tagline "Evolving Responsibly". Production from sourcing the raw materials to the packaging is done by keeping sustainability and the environment in mind. Steam is used instead of coal in production and the leftover rice husk and oil are sent to paper and oil factories for utilization. I got my silhouettes from the interior and exterior of the facility and the machinery used in it. My designs speak of utility and comfort with a classy and chic edge. The fabrics sourced were deadstock natural fiber fabrics such as linen, jute, and OKEO Tex cotton.
