Fashion Institute of Technology students turn used muslin into compost

Sustainability and fashion are two topics that have become inextricably woven in the past couple of years, as many designers are searching for ways to work in a more sustainable manner. Lydia Baird and Willa Tsokanis, who are both enrolled in the Fashion Institute of Technology’s (FIT) programme in Textile Development and Marketing, were also looking for a way to make fashion more sustainable and thus started the ‘’Muslin Compost System’’. With the project running for several months now, Baird and Tsokanis deemed the compost to be ready for use.
