Protect Your Earth
“Protect Yo Earth”
Protect Your Earth ( “Protect Yo Earth”) harnesses the power of art and fashion to underscore the importance of conscious consumption. This dynamic year-long campaign crescendos into an inspiring celebration on Earth Day, aptly named “Protect Yo Earth Day”. The projects we embark focus on various aspects of sustainability, and pushes the boundaries of what is currently accepted as possible. Through fostering a new wave of sustainable designers and nurturing a community of ethical fashion enthusiasts, we aim to instigate a transformative shift towards conscious living.

Project Zero Waste
In Collaboration with Casa Debut
All clothing can be ethically made and at least some clothing can be sustainably sourced.” ~Kesi Gibson, Designer & Creative Director at The Kyu Melange / Kyu By Kesi.
As fashion designers and artists, we often provide the medium for entertainment. However, it’s sobering to note that approximately 5% of the fabric used in manufacturing a fashion collection ultimately ends up as waste. The Zero Waste Project, a collaboration between Kyu Melange and Casa Debut ( The Atelier and Content Studios of Club Debut Colombia) is our initiative designed to embody the spirit and mission of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs). We are using our talent and platform to push the collective conscience of a generation towards ethical and sustainable consumption. In partnership with The Club Debut Foundation, we’re pushing boundaries by supporting, funding, and inspiring the emerging cohort of sustainable designers. Our promise is to give discarded fabrics a second chance at use – transforming waste into Art & Fashion.
