Fashion is one of the most innovative industries, however, it produces lots of waste and depends heavily on artificial mate rials. All these reasons made me want to find some natural materials that could be used instead of waste production. My research is dedicated to the transformation of lotus stem waste into some kind of biodegradable textile materials for fashionable clothes. Lotus is usually valued for its flower, but the stem of the plant has very useful natural fibres that can be extracted, spun into yarn and further developed into some textile materials. In my research, I will examine whether this kind of waste can be transformed into some kind of sustainable luxury in the fashion industry. Sustainability does not mean lack of beauty; instead, natural waste materials can add another kind of luxury that will be based on craftsmanship and respect to nature.
KEYWORDS
Through my research, I have understood that sustainability can be initiated in very simple ways such as having a new perspective on waste products. Though lotus stem may appear to be just another waste product, it possesses natural fibres which can be utilised as a raw material for producing textile fabrics. The unique structure of lotus stem and its connection with the craftwork process give a special characteristic to this fibre that can be incorporated into the couture fashion. It should be said that lotus fibre cannot be considered as a perfect solution to problems related to the fashion industry, since there are some drawbacks in this material, including high costs and difficulties in extraction. However, the prospects of this material need to be taken into account. In my opinion, the main idea of “Lotus to Luxury”is the transformation of the waste product into something valuable. The future of sustainable fashion will not only be based on reducing consumption, but also on finding values where there were none before. unique properties. Fashiond with other materials.
