2021 International Student Design Competition Winner: Emily Omesi
Emily Omesi, winner of the 2021 Intentional Student Design competition discusses the inspiration behind her designs and her thoughts on leather
Rewind – the new documentary series, funded by Real Leather. Stay Different., that makes the case for leather having a role in a more sustainable future – releases its first episode and takes us back to the farm.
Although leather is a by-product of the meat and dairy industries, to the consumer its production is inextricably linked to agriculture. In the first instalment, Rewind examines how to make the best use of our limited agricultural land, the real effects of cattle’s methane emissions – and the environmental consequences of having no cows, not utilising cowhide and the popularisation of plastic alternatives.
Stay tuned for episode two, ‘Fashion’, available to watch next Thursday at 6pm GMT.
