Fastenings

Fastenings are somewhat of a highlight in my transformational pieces, something that is both practical and for design aesthetic. I was thinking about the different ways you can attach pieces, domes, hook and eyes, zippers. Zips were my original fastening of choice, and I have come back to them, as I feel they suit my design concept, and work best in my samples.

I have found that there is a company providing sustainable zippers in America, The ideal fastner company, which use recycled yarns from the sustainable fiber company, Repreve, which I would use in my collection.
