Helen Kirkum

  

I decided to look at Helen Kirkum as she is another designer who uses waste products to construct new products. Kirkum utilises ‘disregarded’ shoe parts to assemble a completely new design. She uses her pieces to explore the idea that we are living in a highly commercialised society. Figure 179 has a clear design layout, using an image of the garment or product with the what the item looked like beforehand. This concept is strong, making the consumer aware of the transparency as well as making an impact.
