EVERGREEN — Holly McQuillan
Monday February 13 2012
Welcome to the first of three interviews conducted with the designers featured in our current Project Space exhibition EVERGREEN: fresh sustainable fashion. For the first entry, we talk to New Zealand designer Holly McQuillan.
“There are so many preconceptions about sustainable fashion… probably the biggest preconception is that there is one ‘right’ way to do it.”
Holly McQuillan is a lecturer in Fashion Design at Massey University’s College of Creative Arts in Wellington. Her research focuses on sustainable design practice by exploring the possibilities of zero-waste pattern cutting - a philosophy which challenges existing techniques and eliminates wastage. Her considered design approach results in garments that are timeless and adaptable, sustaining value over many years.
