As the sustainability movement continues to gain momentum, one thing's become abundantly clear: There are hundreds of different ways to join the charge. Rather than looking at the mandate to design responsibly as a limitation, the next generation of fashion designers are using those constraints to fuel even greater creativity.
Felipe Fiallo, Olivia Rubens and Cameron Williams are three emerging talents that prove sustainability can serve as the perfect fodder for innovation. I first came across their work as a press juror for the International Talent Support design competition; while each of the three took home awards, what stuck with me more than anything were their unique approaches to designing with the wellbeing of people and planet in mind.
