Los Angeles-based designer Greg Lauren introduces the new Scraps collection designed for the Fall/Winter 2021 season. The focus of the latest range spotlights environmentally friendly looks and construction, using repurposed fabrication and produces the apparel with the intent of using scraps.
This results in the classic patchwork aesthetic that is true to the brand. He talks about the importance of sustainability, “Becoming more sustainable can be a goal, but it can’t be the creative end…Create and then commit to figuring out how to do it in a more responsible, sustainable way. Process, method…source a little differently, reuse, use less, make choices.” The seasonal collection takes the iconic scraps and creates irregular shapes and a captivating blend of colors and structures for the colder seasons.
