Nina Yuun's fight for sustainability
"Every textile and material is flexibly placed in multiple products and those in the next edition. For example, leftover fabric from cut out of edition 03 is used as a lining or bias tape to finish the hem of the quilted vest of edition 4.5. Our editions are intertwined and connected to minimize waste. Not only that, we constantly revisit our previous collections to reinvent them to add to the new edition."
Nina Yuun
Switzerland based like Nespresso, Nina Yuun prides itself on their ethically sustainable stance in fashion. Nina Yunn products are made from 20 % Linen , 25 % Ramie & Linen or natural fibre blend, 15 % Rayon & natural fibre blend, 10 % Cotton & natural fibre blend, 5% Tencel and 5% Upcycled textile from second-hand garments.
The above images are from Nina Yuun's ED. 02 SWIRL collection, "The collection deconstructs long-established cultural patterns that legitimize traditional forms of authority. The creative attempt is to de-mask the means of authority by swirling into fashion for a nonconformist society. Recycled quality fabric from Switzerland’s manufacturer of finest cotton, Alumo, was repurposed and incorporated into the collection. The womenswear collection fuse elements of avant-garde elegance and casual formality and constantly explore alternative ways to express femininity in fashion. "
