Rebirth by Tamika Sewell / F2A

Concept Statement Rebirth is a concept inspired by nature herself, and a variety of artists whose work focuses on the endless cycles present in nature. Environmental cycles are natual processes in which elements are continuously cycled in various forms between different compartments of the environment (air, water, soil & organisms). This collection explores these cycles not only in a conceptual sense, but a practical one in terms of circular fashion.

Rebirth communicates the cycles present in nature, symbolising that ends merely bring about even more beautiful beginnings. This collection has been made ppossible through the collaboration with an Australina artist who created a textured painting for Rebirth, which now forms the beautiful print that features throughout in various colourways. It was important that the painting was an organic representation of nature, representing Rebirth while leaving room for questioning and interpretation by the observer. Keeping in mind the impacts the fashion industry has on the environment, this collection aims to keep the entire design process as ethical and sustainable as possible. Designed with recycling and reusing in mind, the fabrications are about to be separated and put into various textile waste recycling streams at the end of it’s life. All garments within the Rebirth collection plan are designed to be sold, as the impacts of creating for the sake of creation has a high toll on the Earth.

Market Placement TARGET MARKET The target market is women aged between 18 – 40 who are kind and compassionate, caring about global sustainable issues focusing on the environment and communities. They are successful leaders in their work field and inspire others to dream big. These women have a profound spiritual and self-development understanding, and they are always looking for ways to expand their consciousness and learn. They care about the clothing they buy, however, with more of a focus on how the clothing makes them feel rather than how the garment looks.

DEMOGRAPHICS ~ Women aged between 18 – 40 years old ~ They are committed hard workers who are trying to make their mark in the world while having a positive impact on communities and the environment ~ Successful entrepreneurs and influencers who have created a following through some form of teaching/ coaching solutions for their customers ~ Love going to a quiet café and work on their business/career projects ~ They wear a range of clothing; specifically pants, shirts/blouses, dresses, blazers and coats ~ Professional dressers first, although their closet consists of several cocktail-style outfits as well as casual staples ~ Their clothing style is quite minimalistic and the value for them is in the details and quality ~ Constantly listening to self-development podcasts and are interested in any medium that provides them with an opportunity to learn and discover something new about themselves ~ Enjoy soft, casual music
