The OFFCUTS series is the series of add-ons for garments which are made of offcuts that aim to improve the use of clothing that produced off-cuts in the first place. The project aims to not only reusing industrial leftovers but also revalue its materiality as another material and reconnect it into the origin clothing.Each work is named after percentage which indicates the percentage of offcuts while cutting clothing patterns.
Re-use : These leftover fabrics are still precious and interesting.
Re-value : By making stories and applying diverse techniques, project develops offcuts own materiality.
Re-connect : Not only just reuse, but also re-connect offcuts to the garment where the first place of offcuts PROJECT LIST
