Excellent synthetic silhouettes focusing on the idea of ZERO WASTE! Maybe the next step for the synthetics trend is to look at this idea of zero waste?

'Murray’s technique involves pouring a solution she calls “Fiberform” into a three-dimensional polystyrene mold, which she carved by hand. Another way the two technologies differ: Fiberform holds its own shape independent of its wearer’s body.'


'Once cast, dried, and popped from the mold like a cake, individual pieces were “welded” together, nuno-style, sans thread. Working in this medium, Murray says, allowed for zero waste, a truncated construction process, and minimal raw-material use.'
