A transparent trash can-like box has been installed in the space near the second-floor entrance of Dice&Dice.
On the wall behind, it says, THE INOUE BROTHERS and ED ROBERT JUDSON Presents together "THE PLASTIC BAG PROJECT".
Over 5 million tons of plastic flow into the ocean each year. The average usage time of a plastic bag by a Japanese person is 20 minutes. It takes over 1000 years for the Earth to decompose a plastic bag.
Three solutions you can start today:
1 : Recycle and reuse as much as possible
2 : Don’t accept plastic bags
3 : Avoid using disposable plastic products as much as possible
The recycled plastic bags here are transformed into entirely new products.
It is written.
These are exhibits of a joint project connected by the keyword of fashion, "THE INOUE BROTHERS…", "ED ROBERT JUDSON", and "Dice&Dice".
Plastic bags collected from visitors are displayed in an installation format until they are recycled into new products.
This is our action against the environmental pollution caused by plastic products, which is currently a problem.
Plastic is difficult to decompose naturally and remains for a long time, causing significant damage to various animals and the environment.
However, plastic is not only harmful. It is durable, easy to process, and makes our lives convenient in various situations.
We did not simply abandon plastic products but started this exhibition with the idea of "Can we make a positive impact through the power of fashion?".
The collected plastic bags are returned to us after being transformed.
The body uses 100% naturally grown Natural Pima Cotton that "THE INOUE BROTHERS…" encountered in the Amazon rainforest, living in complete harmony with nature.
Additionally, the front pocket uses a special recycled fabric made by cutting plastic bags into thin strips, which are then hand-knitted by artisans.
The original colors and prints of the plastic bags, which would normally hinder recycling, appear like patterns. The way the material's quirks are skillfully incorporated into the design is truly excellent, characteristic of "ED ROBERT JUDSON".
Here, an unprecedented recycled product is born, feeling a blend of the hardness of industrial products and the warmth of handwork.
Indeed, recycling is a hassle. Living without plastic bags is inconvenient. But what if living without recycling or plastic bags is considered "cool"? Our consciousness may change. We believe that fashion has that kind of power.
