01 STATE OF THE ART

THINKING OUT LOUD

I came across the work of Scarlett Yang and felt really inspired. She designed a glass-like bio material using algae extract and silk cocoon protein and can decompose in water within 24 hours. You can read an article about her work here.

What if sustainable fashion doesn't have to be durable?

After studying fashion for 5 years, I started looking for inpiration outside of fashion. Last year, as I was experimenting with bio materials, I realized the process was just like cooking. It reminded me of a documentary I watched about the so-called world's best restaurant Noma.

I am really curious about the philosophy behind fine dining experience. It's high quality, expensive, and only lasts for 2 hours. Would the same logic work in the fashion industry, that garments have an expiry date just like food?

This week is about learning how to build a documentation website with Gitlab using markup language Markdown.

ALL ABOUT TEXT

Two types of fonts are : Serif and San Serif

fonts

I prefer San Serif because it looks clean, minimal, and contemporary, whereas Serif looks serious and classic.

In the end I decided to use Encode Sans Thin 100 because it's simple and modern :)

ALL ABOUT IMAGE

Uploading images in Markdown is really simple. We can upload images from various resources such as the Internet or PC.

SOME NOTES

To upload images from the Internet:

  1. Open any image
  2. Right click and select 'copy image address' option
  3. Paste the image address instead of the Image URL in Markdown
  4. The image will be inserted

To upload images from PC:

It's important to specify the path of the images saved on our PC. Remember to minimize the sizes of the images and not to upload too many at the same time.
