A big part of TML's agenda was to use the same universal design strategies that are being used in the building and construction industries to serve the needs of many while reducing negative environmental impact.1,2) The garments are trans-seasonal, which allows them to season-hop quite efficiently.
3) All TML patterns are zero waste, so nothing but the selvage goes into the trash. The leftover fabric is planned for in advance, and are made into other garments (0.02% waste coefficient)
4) The fabrics are luxurious, size friendly and body positive, allowing for the various cyclical fluctuations that occur in a woman's body throughout her lifetime, including pregnancy, weight loss, and weight gain.
More effort is being made to establish a national design policy to address pre and post consumer waste, as well as the waste generated by production, which is very exciting. Most of the challenges we're currently facing are a result of inefficient resource deployment, and design strategies that have not been framed comprehensively, to reflect what's happening right now, with the environment, and the frequent fluctuations that occur in a woman's body over time.
