A BIO DEGRADABLE TEXTILES
Life from the Loom is am.gabrie’s All Seasons 2025 textile series on Biodegradable Textiles, rooted in the dialogue between nature and human, capturing the beauty of decay and nature’s reclamation as a concept—an imprint of life woven into its fibres.
Inspired by Yogyakarta’s Candi Sewu, where time and nature intertwine, these textiles reflect human-touched surfaces softened by nature—not through physical deterioration, but through intricate embroidery, layered textures, bioplastics, and natural dyes that embody organic rhythms. By blending durability with biodegradability, this project reimagines textiles as living materials, designed to be cherished, repaired, and ultimately returning to nature—honoring the cycle of creation and decay, an invitation to rethink materiality and consumption where fabric is not lost to time, but gently reclaimed by the earth.

Sustainability at the Core
At am.gabrie, sustainability isn’t a trend—it’s the foundation of our work. Life from the Loom explores biodegradable textiles as a response to overconsumption and the short life-cycle of textiles, redefining longevity not through permanence, but through the natural circular cycle of use, wear, and return to nature. Through thoughtful craftsmanship and natural processes, this project reimagines textiles as living materials—designed to be cherished, to evolve, and eventually, to decompose gracefully, leaving minimal trace behind.
Sustainability is not an endpoint but an ongoing dialogue—one that shapes every decision, every fibre, and every thread.
