END BLIND MASS CONSUMPTION

Blind mass consumption has become incredibly destructive to our planet and our minds. As a planet we consume too much, too often. Making materials more sustainable will help the climate situation, but the root of the problem is attitudes towards consumption.

For this collection I decided to combine aspects of both, I reworked timeless second-hand clothing and covered them in screen printed patches. Bold controversial slogans to grab the attention ‘TRENDS MUST DIE’ and more complex satirical designs to explore it in greater depth, because the pope crouched beneath capitalist angels playing poker needs to be seen.

I took inspiration from the criminal connotations of stripes, suggesting that ignoring climate change is now a crime. The militant khaki camo was pulled from my interest in punk and reggae and the way they subvert and rework war uniforms into an individual statement of protest.

DON’T BUY BLIND BUY INFORMED.

Empty Brains is protest wear – an activist art project shown through the medium of clothing to spark change politically, environmentally, and socially.
