SUSTAINBLE CHALLANGE 2020- INDUSTRIAL SYMBIOSIS TEXTILE INDUSTRY

LOCOLLAB is a collaborative project initiated by a dynamic team comprising members from IED Barcelona and talented individuals Sarah & Zoe from UAL London. This project was born out of a compelling challenge organized in partnership with MODAFAD, Design Manchesters, and the British Council. Despite being physically separated, we worked tirelessly over the course of one month to develop this visionary project, connecting virtually to turn our shared vision into a reality. The culmination of our efforts led to a presentation of the project right here in the vibrant city of Barcelona.

Project Vision:

At its core, LOCOLLAB is conceived as a groundbreaking platform, poised to establish a powerful network of local entities, fostering collaborations and weaving together the vibrant tapestry of creativity. Our mission is to bridge the gap between different local parties, igniting innovative partnerships that transcend geographical boundaries. We aspire to inject emotional value into the world of fashion by collaborating closely with local designers and artists, crafting a more profound and conscious relationship with clothing.

Key Objectives:

Environmental Consciousness: LOCOLLAB actively seeks to engage with environmentally conscious projects, forging partnerships that emphasize sustainability and responsible consumption. By working hand in hand with local designers and artisans, we aim to redefine the fashion landscape, promoting eco-friendly practices that benefit both creators and consumers.
Emotional Connection: In addition to promoting environmental awareness, LOCOLLAB is committed to nurturing emotional consciousness within the fashion industry. We recognize that clothing is not merely a commodity but a reflection of individual identity and expression. By fostering collaboration with the supply chain, we aim to infuse each garment with a deeper sense of meaning and emotion, transcending the superficiality often associated with fashion.
Impactful Collaboration:

LOCOLLAB envisions itself as a catalyst for meaningful change within the fashion world. Our platform is designed to encourage and facilitate collaboration, connecting like-minded individuals and organizations who share our passion for sustainability and emotional resonance. By establishing a robust network of local talent, we believe that together, we can transform the fashion industry, one thoughtful collaboration at a time.

In summary, LOCOLLAB is not just a project; it's a movement that transcends borders and brings together creative minds from diverse backgrounds. It is our collective response to the challenges faced by the fashion industry, with a firm commitment to environmental and emotional consciousness. We invite all who share our vision to join us on this transformative journey toward a more sustainable and emotionally connected fashion world.
