Sustainable Techniques By Eng Yi Hui

Sustainable Techniques (SUSTECH) focuses on designing with sustainability in mind, encouraging the use of upcycled materials and conscious construction methods.

For this project, we designed and created an original top in actual size using upcycled fabrics of different weights. We explored silhouette through a mix of sustainable techniques, experimented with unique placement of openings, and applied suitable seams and creative finishing methods. The project challenged us to combine innovative design with responsible making.

"May Peace Be Upon You" is an entertaining fashion line that reminds Muslims of the challenges endured by Prophet Muhammad (p.b.u.h.) and the importance of maintaining one's faith. This collection explores the colors and textures of the desert and transforms them into a wonderful top that serves as a reminder to have faith in the Almighty Allah (s.w.t). It is inspired by the voyage of the great prophet. 

This exquisitely made item is meant to complement any ensemble it goes with. It is a powerful allegory for life's challenges that emphasizes the need of having confidence in Allah (s.w.t.) and the virtues of patience. It is made of thin cotton with deliberate burn holes. These intentional imperfections not only symbolize tenacity but also the profound beauty that results from adversity. Finished with a scarf that matches, this ensemble exudes sophistication and drama. It's an adaptable piece that looks great with anything or anything. You may wear it alone or combined. The inclusion of bottom tassels is a moving remembrance of the Prophet's endeavors to bring people together and lead unbelievers toward Islam. Similar to the threads he symbolically wove together, the tassels represent his ceaseless pursuit of fostering harmony and comprehension across disparate groups. Thus, inspired by the Prophet Muhammad's (p.b.u.h.) enduring heritage, this garment not only embodies exquisite craftsmanship but also contains a profound tale of endurance, unity, and spiritual commitment.
