【綠時尚】可溶於水的新娘禮服
正當綠色低碳婚禮,在全世界開始成為流行的同時,英國Sheffield Hallam大學一位時尚系的學生,也在此概念下,設計了幾套很有意思的綠色概念禮服。
而這看似時尚的白色婚紗,又到底特別在哪裡? 沒錯,它是件可溶於水的環境友善概念禮服,而背後的秘密,就在它本身的材質,含有聚乙烯醇這種生物可分解物質。所以新娘可以在經過一生當中最重要的一天之後,即刻將這件衣服放在水裡分解,而分解後的物質,也可再利用作成無毒的工業用原料。
至於為何要製作如此可溶於水的禮服呢? 對這位年輕設計師來說,她試圖尋求的,是以相對低成本與可分解的原料,挑戰目前市場高價設計禮服的迷思,當然不斷尋求更多替代性的永續材質,降低時尚產業對環境的負擔與影響,更是她未來努力的目標。
這件號稱ECO的白色婚紗,雖然並不是每個人都會認同這樣的綠色時尚提案,而且還得禱告穿上它時不會下雨,否則...,不過還是一個很具話題性的新嘗試,分享給大家~
祝大家週末愉快!

Eco-Friendly Wedding Gown Dissolves in Water After Being Worn
Here comes the bride…aaand there goes her dress. British researchers have developed a wedding gown that can be dissolved in water—just in time for the honeymoon—to transform it into five new wearable pieces. The trick: Polyvinyl alcohol, an odorless nontoxic polymer that breaks down in water without harming the environment. Now on display at Sheffield Hallam University’sFurnival Gallery, the dress and its subsequent permutations are the result of an unlikely union between the college’s fashion and engineering students.
TO HAVE AND TO UNHOLD
One of the most iconic and symbolic garments in human history, the wedding gown also exemplifies the challenges of disposable clothing, according to Jane Blohm, a fashion lecturer at the university.
“The students wanted to challenge the notion that a wedding dress should only be used once and aimed to explore modern society’s attitudes towards throwaway fashion,” she says, noting that while the price of clothing in the United Kingdom has plunged by up to 25 percent, the number of clothes purchased has spiked by almost 40 percent.
74 percent of the 2 million tons of clothes purchased in the U.K. each year winds up in landfills.
Textiles are the fastest-growing waste product in Britain, with roughly 74 percent of the 2 million tons of clothes they buy each year winding up in landfills. “In order to reduce fashion’s impact on the environment, the fashion industry must begin to challenge conventional attitudes and practices,” Blohm says.
We recommend sticking to an indoor wedding, though.
