About the Maker: Alice Sutton is a designer maker, and owner of the sustainable fashion label Edition. She works from her studio in Canberra creating beautiful, sustainable, wearable items.
Each EDITION collection explores sustainable design and zero waste pattern making. My zero waste pattern making called 'Selvedge to Selvedge' has informed the design aesthetic of EDITION. A key aspect of the design process is uncertainty as the final garments silhouettes are determined in the process not through drawings.
Through each collection the EDITION label evolves and the unique, multi functional garments create a new language for sustainable design. All EDITION garments are Australian made.

Materials: ceramics, slip cast
Dimensions: 20cm diameter
Meet the Maker: Sophi Suttor's conceptual work examines the loss of habitat and its replacement by the generic she is looking at specimens through the filter of the work of Rohan Ellis. Producing fragments of the generic as a demonstration of how easily we lose the detail and cultural stamp of our personal landscape
Works are childlike and toy like to highlight how easily we are seduced by pretty things. Using lots of generic flowers and toy like items to highlight how readily we accept the generic. This acceptance erodes national identity and leads to devaluation of all things native to Australia this process is aided and abetted by globalisation.
