03 Compensate
For the past decade, I have been working with indigenous artisans to create a zero carbon womenswear line in the remote mountain villages of Guizhou province. It is handmade seed-to-button using ancient techniques that follow the cycles of nature. We grow the cotton, hand-spin the fiber, hand-weave it into fabric, and sew it together by hand all without electricity. It is made from only 3 ingredients: sun, plants, and mountain water sourced from the surrounding mountain forest. My collection ANGEL CHANG shows how we can live a zero carbon lifestyle by creating a world made solely from indigenous craftsmanship. The pieces produced follow the 3 tenets of my zero-carbon design approach: 1) all-natural, 2) locally-made, 3) no electricity.
