Bai conceived the concept of the collection after researching the impact of the fashion industry on the soil
Her obsession for two years gave birth to a collection Yuhan Bai to work with the soil. The fashion design student at the Royal College of Art presented at the last Dutch Design Week the Soil Project, a collection of clothing made with alternative leather material based on soil and vintage clothing dyed with soil.
Bai conceived the idea for the collection after researching the impact of the fashion industry on the soil and, in particular, its reliance on cotton. “Increasing demand in recent years for cotton due to the rapid expansion of fashion has resulted in overexploitation of land and environmental problems such as soil degradation,” Bai told Dezeen.
She started working with soil since she traveled to her native China two years ago. “I collected soils from coal mines, from oilfields, from agrochemically polluted areas – some of them come from abandoned industrial areas, some from farms and woodlands, and some from natural woodlands.”
Her collection includes a top made from the alternative leather material she made and a reworked jacket, sourced from a vintage clothing store.
