Sea Nets Repurposed For Malta Fashion Week

As the Malta Fashion Week continues to showcase some of the best creations by the local fashion industry, NGO Zibel and Tolo by Rachael stuck out with their environmentally aware pieces.

The NGO and local fashion designer repurposed a trawler net Zibel had collected in Comino over 4 missions during one of their various clean ups and eco-activism events in Malta.The piece was made by a whole heap of trawling nets that would have otherwise been left to damage the sea bed of our islands, entrapping fish and polluting the seas around Malta’s islands.

Instead, the initiative made sure to promote sustainable fashion, showing that even these potential hazards could be turned into something beautiful and of no harm to local environments and biodiversity.

The NGO shared stories on Instagram showing clips from the mission which retrieved the trawling net, explaining how the pieces came to be donned down the cat walk.
