Have you ever imagined not to waste a piece of cloth in the process of cutting clothes? This is probably the most disruptive environmental protection measure in the international fashion industry.

New York Times reported recently that some of the top ones are

The college has already started preparing this course, not to test students' practical ability, but to reduce thousands of tons of garbage every year. Only in the United States, 15% to 20% of the fabric is thrown away as a leftover material.

In order to achieve zero leftover material in the process of cutting, we need to start with the innovation of garment design technology.

It has been reported that a few years ago, some enthusiastic fashion designers began the experiment, and it has finally become a climate.

Next month, the Parson Institute of design, New York, will take the lead in setting up a zero frontier design course; a book called "fashion for sustainable development: changing the way we make and use clothes" will be officially published in February next year. In the two quarter of next year, there will be two fashion shows in New Zealand and New York, with zero edge cutting as design ideas, and in March next year Chicago will also hold an exhibition with zero leftover materials.

However, we must economize.

It's not easy to make clothes look good.

Zero scrap

One of the sponsors of the campaign, Rissanen, assistant professor Parson of the school of design, told New York Times. "It means that I have to learn design from the very beginning, and the first year and a half is basically spent trying and making mistakes."

According to his experience, the so-called zero cutting material is tailored to two ways, or first to design the clothing style, then carefully cut the necklines, sleeves, pockets and other parts, then spell them together like jigsaw puzzle, or simply do not cut a knife, directly hang the material on the model body to fold and sew.

However, the New York Times points out that these design techniques have not yet attracted the attention of large garment manufacturers.

Simon Collins, Parson of the school of design, said: "they are willing to try a little, but they can not make up their minds to practice in large scale."

This is largely related to cost, because changing the way of clipping means changing the width of cloth doors commonly used in the industry. For many manufacturers, the money saved on cloth is not enough to introduce new production lines.
