Person

About

Daniel Silverstein is a pioneering fashion designer known for his innovative approach to sustainability in the fashion industry. He is the founder of the brand "Zero Waste Daniel," which focuses on creating unique, genderless garments from pre-consumer textile scraps and post-production materials. This approach not only reduces waste but also challenges traditional fashion practices. Silverstein's journey into sustainable design began at a young age, with early experiences in recycling and creating clothes from fabric scraps. Silverstein's designs are characterized by geometric patchwork and a technique he calls "re-rolling," where scraps are sewn together to create new fabric. His work has gained recognition through collaborations, such as with Nuuly, where he upcycled 1,300 denim garments. Silverstein aims to inspire a shift towards zero-waste practices in the fashion industry, promoting sustainability as a core value in design. His vision is to create a circular fashion system where nothing is wasted, and every resource is valued.
