Bolivian Student's Eco-Fashion Project Safos Challenges Fast Fashion

In Bolivia, a Unifranz University design student, Nicolás Canedo, is making waves with his sustainable fashion initiative, Safos. Safos tackles the growing problem of textile waste by transforming discarded clothing into one-of-a-kind, eco-friendly bags and garments. Canedo's innovative approach to upcycling not only reduces environmental impact but also creates unique designs with added value. "Safos is a project that is part of several areas," Canedo explains, "In this case, it's part of the upcycling method. I make bags with second-hand or vintage clothing." The project challenges the fast-fashion industry's culture of constant consumption, promoting a more sustainable and conscious approach to clothing. Safos is a shining example of how creativity and sustainability can coexist, offering a powerful message for the future of fashion.
