| From understanding the importance of a cap as means for self- expression, the cultural value of the cap as a streetwear piece and icon of the hip-hop culture to its particular technical aspects, Camille delved into the rich meanings and know-how embedded in a 5 panels cap. However, it is a fast fashion industry issue that caught her attention and became a critical aspect of her project. The increasing amounts of clothing that are wasted worldwide: one garbage truck of clothes is burned or sent to landfills every second. The average consumer bought 60 per cent more clothes in 2014 than in 2000 but kept each garment for half as long (Ellen MacArthur Foundation, 2017). | From understanding the importance of a cap as means for self- expression, the cultural value of the cap as a streetwear piece and icon of the hip-hop culture to its particular technical aspects, Camille delved into the rich meanings and know-how embedded in a 5 panels cap.

| - | As a way to addressing the clothing waste issue at a local scale, the cap developed by Camille is made from discarded textiles. Finding second-hand textile providers, collecting, assorting and treating the textiles in order to assemble the caps are key dimensions of the cap’s circular production system. The idea is to integrate into the system local charity associations such as that can sell to Camille textiles gathered through their network. In this sense, the project would also indirectly benefit already existing workforce reintegration programmes. | + | As a way to addressing the clothing waste issue at a local scale, the cap developed by Camille is made from discarded textiles.
