Abstract
The inspiration of this apparel design is environmental issues occurring in some cities in China the designer observed while visiting her home in summer 2013. Due to acute pollution, the skies of the country are no longer blue, some rivers have changed to dark colors. The goals of creating this design (as a part of a series) were to: a) use garments as a communication tool to raise the public attention on pollution issues in China and b) combine digital printing and free form embroidery technique to create unique printed fabric and textured fabric.
