Mariah Esa

Mariah Esa repurposes waste from the fast fashion industry to create her garments. Mariah has launched her second collection as a independent designer and in that collection she has repurposed over 200,000 waste garment labels which would otherwise be thrown into landfill by a fashion manufacturer. Mariah is a designer trying to tackle the waste within the fast fashion industry. From her experience working in a manufacturer, Mariah was open to the amount of waste fabric and labels that were being thrown away and she found that garment labels were one of the main items being disposed of for slight faults. Sourcing labels which were either over produced or classed as rejects in the fast fashion industry, Mariah repurposed these waste garment labels and up-cycled them to create the base fabric for her bespoke luxury garments.
