Dai Xinyan

REdress Design Award 2013 Finalist

Bio

Xinyan is currently in Shanghai to pursue her career after completing her Fashion Design degree at the Beijing Institute of Fashion Technology in China.

"I believe a great designer can use any existing materials to create something new, and that natural resources should not be wasted. Textiles should not be cut or dyed solely to create something beautiful. For this reason, I find the concept of reconstructing used materials in sustainable fashion to be very appealing." - Xinyan Dai

redress Design Award Collection

For her Redress Design Award (formerly the EcoChic Design Award) 2013 Collection, Xinyan combined up-cycling and reconstruction design techniques to create new outfits using cut-and-sew waste from her own production and secondhand garments sourced from her friends.
