At just 27, Mylène L’orguilloux has launched a pioneering 100% zero-waste clothing line in France. She challenges conventional fashion, where aesthetics often overshadow ethics, proving that sustainable practices are achievable from her Bordeaux workshop.

As a CAD pattern maker, Mylène initiated the MILAN AV-JC project to explore Zero Waste Design. Tired of environmentally absurd industrial rules, she now develops new techniques, seeing "zero waste" as a creative, sustainable answer to fashion's significant environmental impact. The project fosters multidisciplinary collaboration among designers and pattern makers for conscious design decisions.

MILAN AV-JC aims to transform conventional fashion, supporting ethical initiatives and emphasizing consumer power. This work was featured at a TEDx event. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx.
