Upcycled Clothing Quilts

Clothing Art by Luke Haynes Makes Use of Old Clothing Pieces

— November 6, 2014 — Art & Design
Luke Haynes' clothing art is made from old garments that have been stitched back together and given a new purpose in life. Although handicrafts like quilting are generally more popular among women than men, a background in architecture and a love of math is what drew Haynes towards a project that involved both formula, structure and a dash of creativity.

Referencing classic quilting and American craft, Haynes' creations range from repetitive patterns to mosaic-like arrangements that form amazingly life-like people, wildlife and even food items. These impressive quilts make awesome decorative pieces, since just like a painting, there are details that you can get up close and appreciate, in addition to admiring the creations as a whole from afar.
Trend Themes
1. Upcycling - This trend of upcycling old clothes by giving them a new life as quilts can disrupt traditional textile and fashion industries as consumers switch to buying more sustainable and environmentally friendly products.
2. Handicrafts Revival - The trend of handmade quilts and other creative handicrafts can be an opportunity for disrupted artisanal industries to make a comeback by leveraging modern technology, such as artificial intelligence and social media, to create unique selling propositions.
3. Creative Math - The trend of blending math and creativity in clothing art design creates innovative opportunities for artisans and tech companies to collaborate in developing new formula-based creative products, such as digitally printed quilt patterns and designs.
Industry Implications
1. Fashion Industry - The fashion industry could be disrupted by the trend of upcycling old clothes into creative pieces of art, and it can leverage this trend by embracing sustainable production methods and upcycling old garments in designing new garments.
2. Textile Industry - The textile industry can be disrupted by the trend of upcycling old clothes by utilizing advanced textile recycling technologies and materials in making fabrics and creating new products.
3. Artisanal Crafts - The artisanal crafts industry can leverage the trend of handmade quilts and creative handicrafts to digitize and sell unique, exclusive designs online to a wider global audience who appreciate the tradition, passion, and design that goes into each piece.
