Fashion Kinetics

FASHION KINETICS envisioned establishing the power to make customers commit to slow fashion and resolve to eradicate labels that promote fast fashion. FASHION KINETICS produces clothing that is high quality and sustainable from the items themselves down to their packaging. We support locally sourced and produced garments which results in a few specific stocks per collection. Moreover, some items are made-to-order which prevents unnecessary production. 

Start it off with producing contrast-stitch Devon Jeans made through (1) deadstock fabrics which means unsold, surplus, or basically unused fabrics (also known as “overstock”)  brought by brand leftovers. Deadstock fabrics are quite expensive in way that it is still affordable knowing that the quality is worth the price; in other words, you get what you pay for. There’s no way of putting an end to producing new fabrics since, without it, deadstock fabrics will not be produced as well. Be that as it may, this practice would be a way to reuse textiles and divert them into your closet instead of the landfill. 

It may be a high risk to rely on dead-stock fabrics since you don’t always know what you’re getting upon purchasing its leftover but at least, it is a great offer for a start-up independent business to an exclusive range of limited edition pieces along with having to breath new life into previously designed fabrics; and they will also be challenged through their creativity as it (dead-stock fabrics) allows them to expand their varieties in design while adjusting to the fabric’s availability. 

Currently, textile manufacturers are one of the many contributors to carbon emissions and the cascade of climate events. One of the best alternatives could be maximizing the production of fabrics in order to reduce our carbon footprint and prevent expending more contributions to negative environmental impact. The entire quantity of carbon emitted from all human activity is referred to as (2) carbon footprint. 

Furthermore, the packaging used to store the items for shipment is also sustainableーif not reusable, rest assured that it is eco-friendly such as (3) compostable mailers and compostable boxes. FASHION KINETICS is also taking into consideration (4) zero waste management by collecting excess textiles to recycle and maximize its functionality use in pursuance of eliminating “textile pollution” since there are phases in manufacturing such as cutting and stitching that precede a minimal amount of textile waste generated and will end up in landfills. According to Shailaja & Mohapatra (2020), a designer should aim for a proper fit of garment panels and maximize the garment’s longevity so that wearers can use it for a long period to achieve zero waste. Fashion Kinetics also promotes sustainability by its (5) best-selling tie-dye tees that are naturally made and harmless to the environment. Coal tar dyes are used since it is safe for the workers and it directly contributes a positive contribution to the environment because it is not toxic or harmful.  Likewise, these dyes are safe and not harmful since Dermatologists prescribe this ingredient as a treatment for several skin conditions (yet precautions are still advised whenever side effects occur). Lastly, FASHION KINETICS practices  (6) Fair Production resulting to an ethically produced clothing.

After all, what matters is how slow fashion should be relevant by this time since it has less impact on society and will also help toward local economy’s growth. Moreover, there are various ways on how to invest in pieces that last longer yet take into account the condition of the environment. We aim to take the path forward in producing unique pieces and preferable quality alongside advocating a more sustainable fashion future.  #SaveEnvironment
