Naglasak je stavljen na fizičko, biološko i kemijsko zagađenje svjetskih voda. Rezultat istraživanja i kritičkog osvrta je konceptualna modna kolekcija Nautilus u kojoj se kroz kombiniranje različitih načina reciklaže poput topljenja HDPE plastike, kukičanja i patchwork-a sakupljenih materijala te de-konstrukcijom postojećih tkanja stvaraju skulpturalne odjevne forme oblikom inspirirane morskom florom i faunom. Cilj ovog rada je podizanje svijesti o važnosti bijega iz opasne proizvodne kolotečine u koju je zapala modna industrija te okrenuti fokus na slow fashion i elemente održivosti kao pozitivne buduće modne alternative.Slow fashion and elements of sustainability as a critique of fast fashion system through own fashion collection example is a master thesis in which we pay attention to problematic influences of fashion industry that happened in the last few years due to appearance of fast fashion business model.
