001 FASHION X WATER

Branding/Graphic Design FIT (Spring 2024)

Fashion x Water examines the environmental toll of fast fashion, grounded in research on textile pollution and its long-term effects. The project poses one question: what happens if we don't change course?

Across an infographic postcard, zine, poster, and event ad, the aesthetic embodies the message—layered compositions using real clothing, thread, and texture to visualize the excess and waste the industry produces.

Inspiration:

SOLASTALGIA by Bea Fremderman. I chose this artist's work for the zine because it directly visualizes the project's core issue: textile waste accumulating in landfills, synthetic fabrics that never fully decompose. The imagery reinforces the research findings: our clothing doesn't disappear; it piles up.

The hand-drawn postcard ties the project's data, using real colored threads as a visual key for textile pollution statistics—tactile and immediate rather than purely typographic—each thread color mapped to a different data point, giving the information physical weight.
