The kimono is the OG zero waste garment. One bolt of fabric. Minimum cuts. No waste.
Drawing from the original kimono concept, SXD’s first prototypes were built to unleash the power of this beautifully pure idea.
Brilliant minds and technology combined to propel the time-tested philosophy into the now and the future…
An outburst of audacious ideas ensued, giving life to inspired ingredients that have coalesced to form new shapes, new visual languages, and new possibilities.
What remains is an unwavering commitment to generate zero waste and to do right by our planet’s resources.
Our work is the product of looking behind us, inside of us, and ultimately beyond us, to create something that feels familiar yet avant-garde, comforting yet daring, and uncompromisingly sustainable.

This was the very first design I made using fabric. The fabric actually came from my bed sheet. I knew nothing about sewing then, but there was a lot that I wanted to say at 3AM. I named this piece “reverse explosion” because as someone who went through twelve different schools across three different countries before high school, I often felt like I had to contain myself from “exploding.” I’m a bit more zen now, but I really don’t want to lose those raw feelings. In fact, I want to amplify them through my work, so more people can feel 💥 (fireworks? Forever bad with analogies tho lol) 📸 by @rewildingsara and styles by @norastallworth1

Created these #zerowaste dresses for a holiday order. This is me wearing the first prototype 😆 since starting SXD, I have become the wearer of our first prototypes and sometimes defects, which I kind of started to love because there are so many good stories behind them 😳 #deadstock fabric from @minervadotcom

A look into the madness before the product 😆 Nowadays, my hoodie is the most worn item in my closet. That's why I'm so excited to reimagine this essential staple as a zero waste design that anyone can live in (it also consumes a quarter less material!) This zero waste hoodie combines the superpowers of SXD in zero waste design and @katlaforce in its zero waste manufacturing philosophy to deliver an end-to-end sustainable product. And, it looks and feels wonderful 🤍🖤 product link in bio.

TBH love running the startup but I’ve been missing bringing more #zerowastedesigns to life! Finally made some time for new products and I’m excited to show you all a few exciting projects in the next weeks! This one is a fall attire featuring a cotton knit top inspired by a peanut lol as reflected in the fabric texture and pocket shape 😆 (deadstock fabric courtesy of @minervadotcom ). The dress features two layers of flow using upcycled fabric from @refyndbydebs 💛

One remnant @verawang organza, three #zerowastedesigns worn by badass ladies 🔥 earlier this summer, I found this beautiful organza fabric. Since then, the fabric has been used to create a lab coat for @ecoscleans VP of Innovation/my scientist hero @lifeaccordingtojenna, a cape for the most beautiful bride @praaaise (photos by @cheersbabephoto) and a jacket for the fabulous @bmsheil. Pretty amazing to see how much story and wonderful experiences can be packed into a piece of fabric that’s given a second chance🤍
