AN Edinburgh-based artist who creates clothes inspired by fungi is among the creators showcased at a major Scottish festival.
Emily Raemaekers, who utilises natural techniques and materials when crafting garments, aims to call attention to environmental issues prolonged by the fashion industry in her work - for example showcasing how textile dyeing is currently the second largest global water pollutant.
The showcase explores material usage in fast fashion and how biomaterials can be a more sustainable option in fashion and engineering. Raemaekers decorated Symbio with linocut printmaking to create a pattern mimicking mycelium, the base structure of fungi. She used water-based ink as it is a more sustainable alternative to plastic-based inks.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
