Fashion students respond to the Fremantle Design Week theme of Transition: Designing for positive futures with the Metanoia Fashion Runway. Students work with emerging technologies, advanced fibres and new business models to examine innovative ways to design out waste.
Digital designs on virtual avatars, 3D printed accessories, repurposed mining uniform waste and BioLeather feature in a runway presentation by South Metropolitan TAFE students from Certificate II through to Advanced Diploma.
Sponsored by social enterprise Fibre Economy and biotechnology company Nanollose, Metanoia showcases the fashion of positive futures.
