80% of consumers are willing to pay more for sustainable products, highlighting a significant shift towards eco-conscious purchasing behavior.
Lizzy Fowlkes, a junior pursuing a BFA in fashion design, is making waves in sustainable fashion through her innovative community-based designs. Her semester project reflects her commitment to sustainability, drawing inspiration from her grandmother’s linen shop in Memphis, where she learned about natural fibers and the importance of caring for clothing.
Fowlkes’ collection, tentatively titled “Never Completely Yours,” aims for inclusivity with gender-neutral and ageless designs. She focuses on creating adaptable garments, such as a jacket and pants made from durable natural fibers like cotton and twill. These pieces are designed for versatility, featuring adjustable waistlines and ergonomic cuts that cater to various body shapes.
Her philosophy centers around community-oriented clothing that serves multiple purposes rather than being discarded after a single use. Fowlkes advocates for rethinking waste cycles in fashion, suggesting that clothing should be disposed of laterally rather than ending up in landfills.
Fowlkes emphasizes quality over quantity, encouraging designers and consumers alike to embrace repurposing materials. She collaborates with local establishments like Waste Shed to source reclaimed materials, demonstrating that sustainable practices can be both creative and impactful.
As she prepares for her upcoming showcase at Manifest, Fowlkes remains steadfast in her belief that sustainability is essential for the future of the fashion industry. Her work not only honors her family’s legacy but also paves the way for a more conscious approach to clothing design.
