100 Word Description

The modern day fashion industry uses chemical dyes to make our clothes colourful and patterned. Today, dyes are less harmful but there is no denying that these dyes are chemical-based which is unnatural and harmful to our bodies and natural environment in the long run. My FYP aims to create a sustainable and healthier method of dyeing fabric from Singapore plants. It specifically looks to develop a look book of colours extracted from plants found in Singapore since 1819. The final presentation/exhibition method would be a performative installation. The plan is to create a dress out of fabrics dyed using local plants, which I’ll wear and perform in.
