Behind the Seams: GRAYE

REDUCING WASTE THROUGH SMART DESIGN Qian is the founder of GRAYE Studio, a Singapore-based fashion label creating minimalistic, unisex designs for men and women. 👩🏽‍🤝‍👨🏾 As a philosophy, they’ve always been focused on simplicity of design and letting quality, functional garment construction do the talking. 👏🏼 After learning more about the impact of the industry, Qian also shifted her focus to minimising waste in their supply chain by finding creative ways to upcycle their offcuts - like creating masks, belts, bags and bucket hats. ♻️ What’s more, being genderless designs, couples can share their pieces! They’re also conscious of their packaging - reusing them to pack smaller items. They are also focusing on phasing out the use of non-biodegradable material wherever possible. This is part 4 of a video series called Behind the Seams, spotlighting local makers here in Singapore who practice sustainability and ethics in their own unique ways.
