Sustainable fashion concepts are increasingly being adopted by\ndesigners in their collections. One such example is designer Deden\nSiswanto, who showcased his vision at the Raya Soiree fashion show held\nat Central Park Mall in West Jakarta.<\/p>\n
In this collection, Deden presented garment designs that utilise\nscarves as the primary material. \u201cI created these two pieces from\nscarves without cutting them,\u201d Deden explained when interviewed after\nthe fashion show on Saturday, 7 March 2026.<\/p>\n
Through this approach, the fabric remains intact and generates no\ntextile waste. Deden elaborated that the zero-waste concept is one way\nto introduce more sustainable fashion practices. Rather than cutting\nfabric as is typical in conventional garment production, he chose to\npreserve the original form of the scarves used.<\/p>\n
\u201cBecause we want to implement sustainable concepts, we make garments\nwithout cutting and without discarding material,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
According to Deden, leftover fabric can be repurposed as additional\nornamental elements, such as flowers or small accessories that\ncomplement the design. In this manner, nearly all material is utilised\nwithout generating textile waste.<\/p>\n
Deden noted that sustainable fashion does not necessarily require\ncomplex techniques or specific materials. According to him, designer\ncreativity is the key to producing more environmentally friendly\ngarments. \u201cAnything can be achieved with creativity,\u201d he concluded.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/designer-deden-siswanto-transforms-scarves-into-garments-without-cutting-to-reduce-textile-waste-1773050024", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
