The Limited
No time to waste. We really have no time to lose! If there was ever a time when sustainable design, production and purchasing practices were a dire necessity, it is now. We must reuse and rethink in order to make a positive impact in helping to bring about the transition from fast to slow fashion.
To reinforce this message, designer Elke Baert incorporated fabrics and materials left over from previous editions into the pieces she created for FURORE Edition Eight. Following the Flanders DC’s ‘Close The Loop’ project, Elke Baert is gradually pushing for sustainability through this approach. The collection was given the name ‘No time to waste’ to reflect the brand’s philosophy, with a strong focus on the idea of creating a sustainable wardrobe of high-quality items that can be worn season after season.
Waste is not something Elke Baert feels should necessarily be discarded.. What about those gorgeous shavings that are left over after sharpening a pencil? The colour of the pencil is shown off to its best advantage here in a completely new way; whimsical curlicues fill a blank space and invite you to create something beautiful with them.
The jacquard fabric, woven and processed in France exclusively for Furore, refers to this idea with a playful nod through its vivid colours and ‘hairy’ texture. It is available in two colour versions. Elke Baert’s conceptualisation of a pile of pencil shavings is palpable in the Branzo top, the Sienna skirt and the Patita pullover.
