Seattle Costume Designer Turns Green

SEATTLE - Oct. 20, 2014 - PRLog -- Seattle, WA, October 20, 2014 - Eco-friendly Costume Design should be a universal practice in theatre and film, according to Seattle costume designer Janessa Jayne Styck.

Styck works as a costume designer in Seattle since 2008, and takes special measures to create her environmentally responsible products - professional costumes for theatre and film.

"Theatre and Film affect the world mostly through performance," says Styck,"But our production methods make a big difference."

Styck designs her Costumes to "Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle."

Reduce - Fewer items made from scratch. She puts a theatre's existing stock to good use. Items can be restructured, trimmed, or dyed, creating new items from old.

Reuse - Like Scarlet O'Hara, Janessa makes dresses from curtains and other items at resale stores. Styck gives yardage, from home decor items and samples, a new "second life" as costumes. It's less expensive, and eco-friendly, too.

Recycle - Trash unusable garments? No! Styck donates them at collection sites, which resell them as micro fiber, for rags and blankets. This funds and supports a charitable organization, reduces its trash, and continues the cycle of reuse.

Janessa Jayne Styck says "My eco-friendly methods are both cost-effective and profitable!" She even drives a Prius, so her costumes get eco-friendly transport!
