Hacked By collects leftover pre consumer samples, fabrics and trims from factories and brands. The leftovers are then upcycled by the designer duo.The Hacked By project by fashion designers Alexander van Slobbe and Francisco van Benthum. By appropriating and upcycling the pre consumer waste due to overproduction, Van Slobbe and Van Benthum transform themselves from product designers into process designers who see waste as their material. Hacked is not only a critique of the effects of the contemporary fashion industry but also an exploration of possible new roles for the fashion designer in the design and production process.
