INYIM Media Fashion Graduate: Master’s Collection, IED Barcelona Student Jacek Gleba Explores Climate Change In His Design Concept.
“The menswear collection explores the lives of a group of teenage boys that decide to start living on their own as a community, in order to protest the way adults around them are harming the planet. It includes four looks built with eleven different garments.
Sustainability and transparency
Care for the planet is not only part of the creative process, but also an essential aspect of the production of garments. The collection includes upcycled pieces and designs made with deadstock and vintage fabrics, as well as certified organic cotton fibers. Some of the most interesting garments from a sustainability standpoint are the denim pieces, which were crafted with organic cotton denim and then washed using the technology of Jeanologia, a Valencian company that specializes in sustainable denim washing through innovative techniques like the use of ozone, microbubbles or laser finishing.
What’s next for the designer?
Jacek has recently been accepted into the Graduate Diploma in Fashion at Central Saint Martins and will be moving to London in September to attend classes for the school year. His goal is to use this opportunity to continue learning and improving his skills as a designer and to further develop his creative approach to sustainability.”
