KAOS

SHOW PRESS RELEASE

Is the world crumbling or is Instagram’s algorithm making us believe that. Regardless, we are in a state of global chaos. Things seem worse than usual… but don’t they every year?

VIN + OMI slide into chaos quite easily. We’re more organised chaos, but still chaos. We work in many different ways. Fashion, Film, Fun, Research, Politics, Science, Campaigning, Environmental support, Lobbying, Eco design, Town

Planning and helping change a wide range of industries that they can do things better… so, we work in organised chaos.

This collection is a mash-up of a lot of processes and new breakthroughs. The star of the show is a new fabric made from waste milk cartons from King Charles’ Sandringham Estate. This is the outcome of our most recent project and as part of our ongoing collaboration with King Charles III.

The milk carton fabric forms a spongy, leather like, textile. A new fabric for the fashion and design industries to play with. Recycled neoprene fabric made from discarded wetsuits from Team GB, The Royal Navy and UK surf schools has been refashioned into couture dresses.

Plant waste from Sandringham and UK estates has been transformed into nettle, butterbur and wood chipping outfits.

Recycled garments, destined for landfill, will be mixed with our eco latex and microfiber bonded recycled ocean plastic. Metal fabric made from waste cans mixed with seaweed fabric in a chaotic, creative mess. KAOS will also feature waste materials from the show venue, The Other House; linen crockery and even waste furniture and fittings were turned onto jewellery on the catwalk.
