MEGAN TURNS SURPLUS WARE INTO HIGH-END FASHION PRODUCTS

- KIRSTIE MCCRUM

A GRADUATE of Arts University Plymouth has created high-end fashion from surplus manufacturing material.

Megan Trapnell collaborated with Princess Yachts on the pilot project. The fashion designer, a BA (Hons) Fashion Design graduate from Arts University Plymouth, went to the Cannes Yachting Festival, in France, where she launched Dart & Grey, her new sustainable luxury fashion line, as part of a pilot project with Plymouth-based Princess Yachts.

Megan said: “I’m thrilled to have had the opportunity to launch Dart & Grey with Princess Yachts at Cannes Yachting Festival. Our pilot project aims to create high-end fashion items from surplus materials.

“This initiative emphasises the circular economy and sustainable practices within the luxury yacht manufacturing industry, with Princess Yachts leading the way in sustainability and cross-sector collaboration that supports emerging talent in the South West.”
