How can fashion and construction come together to create a more sustainable future? The LLab, created by Fashion Revolution Polska, showcases the potential of interdisciplinarity in working with waste, encouraging young people to explore innovative methods of material design.

A key element is the educational process, which guides participants through experiments and explorations at the intersection of fashion, technology and sustainability. Through hands-on workshops, students will be introduced to innovative solutions, such as using recycled denim for insulation, and explore the potential of Baltic algae.

By developing open-source recipes for creating innovative materials from local waste, this LLab not only engages but also inspires action beyond the workshop space. Importantly, the Creative Facilitators will openly show both successes and failures—and the lessons learned from them—highlighting the authenticity and educational value of the project.

The LLab culminates in a public exhibition at the Gdynia Design Days in June 2025, where students will present their prototypes, tell thire story of the process, interdisciplinary explorations, and the role of young creators in redefining the approach to waste. Selected prototypes may even have the potential for commercial scalability, opening doors to real-world brand collaborations (in conversation with ELEMENTY).

Furthermore, Fashion Revolution Polska will present a binder of recipes, which will serve as a tool opening new possibilities for educators and their creative initiatives. 

Fashion Revolution Polska is part of a global movement with branches around the world, focused on transforming the fashion industry into a more transparent and sustainable one. Fashion Revolution’s goal is to celebrate the positive impact fashion has on the world and all those who contribute to it every day.
