Are you planning on wearing the dress to your Year 12 formal?
Check out these two 'textile' ideas on IdeaSpies:
- Australian textile startup Upparel https://ideaspies.com/posts/upcycling-fashion-to-battle-pollution and
- BlockTexx https://www.ideaspies.com/posts/unlocking-value-in-textiles-at-a-fibre-level
Also, reach out to CEO Camilla Schippa, or our Artist Editor Gillian Corban who could provide an introduction, at the Social Outfit https://thesocialoutfit.org/
Can't wait to see the finished product!
Hi, the BlockTexx link is dead.
Thanks for noticing @GR998 the BlockTexx link has been corrected.
This is a terrific idea and so necessary. You could try talking to the women at THE SOCIAL OUTFIT in Newtown. thesocialoutfit.org they do wonderful things with fabrics.
Hi Cassie - Enes Can from Turkey responded to your idea on LinkedIn. They are a manufacturer of recycled yarn and knitted fabrics.

This is awesome! A simple yet effective contribution to the environment..
Hi there Cassie, hope you and your loved ones are well.
Congratulations on getting to the submission point of your MDP journey. Your project looks
really interesting and we would love to see where you got with it. We hope that being part of the UpRising initiative has been
rewarding and meaningful for you.
As we wrap up the trial phase of the UpRising initiative and head towards the awards night in November I have a few quick questions. If you could answer these questoins in a comment below that would be so great. We want to understand how UpRising assisted you so that we can etter help next year's cohort of designers. We are also curious to know if there is anything further you would like to do with your project.
1.
What were two interesting things that you experienced or found as a
result of being part of the UpRising?
2.
How did UpRising help you with your project?
3. What would you like to do with your project
and what would help you get there?
4.
How did seeing other UpRising projects affect your designing and
learning experience?
5. What would you like to see added to the UpRising initiative to better help next year's students?
One last thing, can you add in a ‘Start to Finish’ photo of your project? Stitch a photo of early drawing or prototype next to an image of your finished product and update your post with this image.
Congratulations once
again and looking forward to seeing you in November. You have done an amazing
job and we are very proud of the 2021 cohort.
See you soon
Congratulations on all of your hard work this year and for being the first year 12 design students to be part of The UpRising. The 8 judges have been busy going through all the major design projects to decide which projects should be awarded hundreds of dollars in seed funding and mentoring, to take their project to the next level. The judges have used a points system, 3 points for the project they felt was the most impressive, 2 points for a second outstanding project and 1 point for a project that really resonated with them. Three projects will be awarded Seed funding and mentoring
First Place $1000 Seed funding
Second place 750
Third place 500
The winners will be assisted with the continued development of their project next year by the very cool company Nectir .
We are holding an Awards night to announce the winners and we would love to have you all there. It’s online so you can join in from wherever you are. 6pm - 7pm Thursday evening 9th December.

Looking forward to seeing you there.
Wishing you the best of luck with your final exams. Awards night is on the 9th December
