Young Australian fashion designer, Alice Sutton, is inspirational. She truly is. Her ‘Until we arrive’ collection of wonderful clothing, developed under her independent ‘Edition’ label, is not only stunning on the female form, it pays respect to the environment by being produced with her
zero waste philosophy. But, wait, there is more. My interview with Alice made me even admire the Bogong moth, that temperate night-flying species famous for gathering in large numbers around Canberra’s major public buildings in spring as it migrates to the High Plains. For more click here.

It’s designers like 2011 fashion graduate Alice Sutton, 23, who give me hope for the future of the Australian fashion industry. Not only are her
designs beautiful and wearable; her work is driven by a passion for sustainability.
And for lovers of history and nature, there’s another hook in this yarn. Each garment is woven around a story that’s been inspired by her travels. As Sutton
explains: “Our pieces have meaning for the wearer… it’s not just fast fashion to wear for a season, it’s a piece that you would want to wear throughout your whole life.”
This marriage of beautiful design and sustainability has caught the eye of industry observers and Sutton has been chosen to present her collection “Until
We Arrive” as one of eight designers to compete this Sunday at Sydney’s trade fashion event Fashion Exposed for the coveted Debut award.
“When I thought about submitting for fashion Debut, I thought my point of difference is that I often explore a place – usually somewhere in Canberra – that has a lot of history. That’s where my collection comes from. I started looking at insects, the Bogong moth and its journey to and from Canberra, and then start looking at its texture and life cycle. The collection all stemmed from that.”

It’s exactly what it sounds like—a festival of fashion—except more exciting than you’re probably imagining right now. The prodigy of founders Clint
and Andrea Hutchinson, and fronted by international supermodel Anneliese Seubert, this four-night extravaganza will showcase labels such as Edition, Zoe,
SZN and Sofia Polak (I’m only naming the ones I’m familiar with—there’s a stack more as well).
I’ve been giggling to myself because, in following the behind-the-scenes snapshots, I’m recognising all these different designers and going ‘hey, that’s
an Edition dress’ or ‘check it, there’s another Zoe garment’, just like you’d recognise a piece by an A-lister Aussie designer. I’M FASHION-GEEKING OUT OVER
HERE.
Tickets have just gone on sale (thank fudge, I was refreshing their website every half an hour). The cheapest ticket is $55 for one night, or you can pay
$165 for four nights, which is a pretty sweet deal. Buy here. And if you’re going, and you like me, and you see me, please say hello. I’m going to be the
awkward one in the corner, on my own writing notes with a red fountain pen, trying to look cool and actually marshmallow-melting with dorky fashion
happiness inside.
All the coverage is using phrases like “finally putting Canberra on the map”, but the best bit about this is that these awesome designers were already
here—now they’re finally getting the centralised exposure that they deserve.

In the process of organising a photo shoot (more to come), I got talking with Alice Sutton, designer of fashion label EDITION.
Together with Amy Taylor of Aylor, Alice has introduced the philosophy of zero-waste principles into fashion. The result is a series of garments that are
at their best when they move—careful draping and strenuous attention to detail make these pieces a delight with which to interact and experiment.
Alice very kindly answered a few questions for me to get more insight into her creation station and the brains behind the future-minded, fashion-forward
label. For more click here.

Designer Sutton, 22, of Chapman, alongside designer Taylor, 21, of Darwin, had adopted the sustainable way of thinking as an ethos central to her design practice. Both had their own zero-waste selvedge to selvedge pattern-making methods, both favoured the use of natural materials such as silk and wool, which could biodegrade.
‘‘In trying to create a commercial label, you don’t want to compromise design integrity and ethics,’’ Sutton says. ‘‘This exhibition has been a great way to explore those ideas: to make design the important thing as opposed to profit.’’
Sutton wants to reveal the design process to the wearer. ‘‘It’s not ‘Here’s the product, buy it.’ It’s more, ‘Be a part of it, see what happened to make this garment and how much thought went into it.’’’
One inspiration for Sutton and Taylor has been the line on a map of Australia that links Canberra to Darwin because of the challenges they face designing together from two different places. ‘‘We’re trying to ingrain a story in our garments so they’re something that always hang around in your wardrobe.’’

Design duo sets a pattern: fashion without waste
June 13th 2012 | City News Canberra
SUSTAINABLE design is at the forefront of Selvedge 2 Selvedge – a pattern-making philosophy developed by Alice Sutton and Amy Taylor.
Former CIT fashion students, Alice and Amy make use of the whole piece of cloth when creating garments in an attempt at achieving zero waste. Designers Amy Taylor and Alice Sutton... “Amy and I tried to put our pieces together so it was a collaborative look and it turned out to be a bit dark and a bit edgy,” says Alice. Photos by Eric Piris, of Red Photography.
“The cloth of a garment is often forgotten in the final garment, this system introduces a meaningful relationship to cloth lost in production,” says Alice who has started her own label called Edition. She came together with Amy, who has a label called Aylor, while they were studying because they were both interested in sustainable design. “CIT has really been a great platform for getting into the industry. And they really promote sustainable design,” Alice says.
“While we were in third year, we started looking at the concept of zero waste and thinking it was a really great philosophy, but it needed more to make it more meaningful. “Selvedge 2 Selvedge is more than just the pattern making, it’s about being transparent with our ideas.”
The 22-year-old also uses sustainable fabrics such as bamboo, which is made in Queensland. “Selvedge 2 Selvedge is a way of working and a philosophy. On our blog we show our pattern making so that other people can be inspired by it,” she says.
“My clothes always have a rustic feel to them and are very drapey. They are highly wearable and a lot of my pieces are designed to layer.”

Canberra Institute of Technology, Centre for Creative Industries graduates Alice Sutton and Amy Taylor provide a promising example of the possibilities of pushing the boundaries of sustainability and design in a more conceptual direction. Through their labels EDITION and AYLOR they have utilised the whole system of zero waste, incorporating the entire piece of cloth, from Selvedge to Selvedge.
Zero Waste design is just the starting point for Sutton and Taylor who also layer several other best practice approaches, including organic and recycled, into their collections. As a celebration of their commitment to zero waste they have launched a collaborative project Selvedge to Selvedge .
The designers use this platform to bring zero waste design to the fore of their practicing mindset. Looking through their blog, it’s obvious they are thinking about sustainability and the creative process, igniting various discussions surrounding sustainable design, from inspiration through making and presentation. The way they have brought sustainable design into consciousness, through genuinely innovative collections casts a much more optimistic light on the future of sustainable design in Australia. Images from their recent photo shoot, on location in Mount Stromlo Observatory, Canberra ACT for EDITION and Collector, NSW for AYLOR are irrefutable evidence of sustainable fashion's ascendance in the style stakes, given they were both DIY undertakings put together with no access to mainstream models or photographers.
That graduate designers are hitting the ground running with regard to sustainability shows how some fashion schools are successfully incorporating sustainability into the curriculum. While sometimes I feel that Australia has a long way to go towards environmentally sound fashion systems, these moments of achievment from young designers like Sutton and Taylor make me proud, hopeful and excited about the future of sustainable fashion design.
