With their intuitive eye for color, texture, and form, they skillfully combine these different elements. In today's fast-paced fashion industry, the issue of textile waste has reached alarming proportions. Textile waste, including discarded clothing and fabric scraps is a growing environmental concern. This pressing issue highlights the need for collective action to reduce, reuse, and recycle textiles.

Textile waste in landfills releases harmful greenhouse gases and contributes to soil and water pollution. The fashion industry's rapid turnover of trends and styles encourages a disposable mindset among consumers.
