Colorganic

Colorganic is a collection made out of color-grown cotton telling the story of Winfried the wolf.

Topic I Colorganic – textile design collection made of color-grown cotton

Context I Organic is a trend which can be found in the textile industry as well. Therefore the color-grown cotton by Sally Fox is of huge interest. Sally Fox was able to breed and gain back the original colored-growing cotton plant. The original cotton is not white. The ancient cotton plants grew in several colors providing already colored cotton fabric. Sally Fox managed to gain back the cotton plants in three colors: ecru, green and brown..Sie züchtete die ursprüngliche Baumwolle einiger Farben zurück. Thanks to this cotton plant, no coloring process is needed plus (once it is processed) it is almost one of the only fabrics which gains color-intensity while washing. These textiles enfold their color intensity the more often they get washed.  This collection is designed with the character of Winfried the wolf. His story was created for this project and is told on several fabric designs of this collection. The product design of the Colorganic Collection is making use of every single of these specific fabric designs which were created for every product individually. The end product is a sustainable collection in long-lasting colors with pleasant wearing in an affectionate design. The fabric designs are a result of my exchange Semester at Högskolan i Borås, Sweden and got produced there. The product collection itself was a project of the upcoming Semester at University of applied sciences Hof.
