Progress, Progress is part of my series #REMIXbyStevieLeigh which continues to explore the possibilities of waste denim. Fur, although highly revered in luxury fashion, is unethical to use as well as harmful to the planet. My aim was to create a “fur” coat by only using upcycled denim scraps to create the fur-like texture. Over time, this piece will continue to fray and become more fuzzy and fur-like as it ages. My piece is an exploration of how we can reinvent textiles to move towards a more sustainable future.
