Singularity Point, Mark Liu’s Winter 2010 collection, is inspired from the thought of a moment when a system becomes self of its own limitations and eventually  takes control of its destiny. Lieu applies this principle to the fashion. His innovations in textiles and tailoring , such as not using the sewing machine at all for some designs, brings about a new environmentally friendly collection, just like Zero Waste.

A forerunner of the Zero Waste Movement in fashion from London, Liu developed his own jigsaw-like technique that makes optimal use of cloth and prevents waste. Heavily detailed designs in Singularity Point take attention to eco-conscious cloth cuts.

Lessons from Singularity Point for your daily life:

  1. Can cut the frayed jeanes into jean shorts or open the legs and crotch at the seams and sew them into a short jean skirt, or even a bag pack (I tried it, it works well with all those pockets and everything.)
  2. Don’t dump your old shirt for a little stain. Hide it under buttons, ornamental fabric or lace, creating your own design with details.
  3. Is a shirt too ragged to wear anyway? Why not using it as a cleaning cloth, it won’t scratch your furniture and flooring.
