As part of the of the International Fashion Showcase 2017, students and graduates from Poznań’s School of Form have produced “Waste Not”, an exhibition that mixes local traditional Polish crafts with global trends such as up-cycling and slow-living.

Unethical, mass-produced, fast fashion is a global reality of our times, but students and graduates of Poznań’s School of Form are finding resourceful ways to challenge it. By manipulating the ready-made, slowing the pace of design and manufacture - while delving back into Poland’s traditional crafts - they aim to lessen its destructive force. Seeking a balance between contemporary luxe and the communist-era kitsch rejected by their parents, “Waste Not” showcases their talents in sewing and construction to crochet and macramé, in a collection that mixes craft, tribal aesthetics and global trends, embracing the “LOCAL/GLOBAL” theme of the IFS 2017.
