Xie Meng Si is a semi-finalist of the EcoChic Design Award 2017. She currently studies fashion design at the Guangdong University of Technology in Guangzhou, Mainland China.

I believe sustainable fashion design can reduce the burden on our living environment. Giving new life to abandoned things with our hands, so that they are re-accepted by others is a very interesting concept for me and something I aim to bring to my work. - Xie Meng Si

EcoChic Design Award Collection

For her EcoChic Design Award application, Meng Si applies the design techniques of up-cycling and reconstruction to bring new life to end-of-rolls, sampling yardage, damaged textiles and clothing waste. Her collection is inspired by gender ambiguity and the development of sustainability concepts in design.
