Your days are NUMBERED!

You have until the 28th of February at 12 pm to submit your T-Shirt designs.
By-My-Art is inviting those of you who would like to share your imagination but may have difficulty in creating your design. Email us (bymyart2010@gmail.com) your photographs , sketches or any references along with a short text giving a brief description about your design concept and we will create the design for you.
We also invite you to be part of our Facebook discussion. We want to hear your views on the following questions.
· Are you more concerned with how you LOOK than how the items of clothing are MADE?
· Are you willing to PAY more for clothes if they are produced ETHICALLY and made from ECO-FRIENDLY & ORGANIC material?

What You Should Know?

100% Recycled RPET: The Facts

First, the facts: PET is the chemical substance Polyethylene terephthalate, commonly known as Polyester. Prefixing with an R means the polyester contains recycled content. The content can contain either pre-consumer (e.g. factory off cuts) or post-consumer (e.g. plastic bottles) waste.
Due to the massive demand for RPET, supply of the material from certified sources is no longer sufficient. There are now many companies in China that produce bottles for the sole purpose of recycling them immediately into so-called RPET. This is green-washing at its worst and amounts to consumer fraud.

BY-My-Art T-shirt’s Design Campaign

By-My-Art Ltd of Trinidad and Tobago was established in 2007 and we specialize in Eco-friendly fashion apparel and accessories for men and women.

Sustainable fashion and ethical business practice in the 21st century heightened public awareness regarding issues associated with climate change. Operating since 2007, By-My-Art has shared this responsibility of maintaining ethical partnerships between the production process, consumption and the environment.

To communicate our philosophy, By-My-Art is pleased to invite you to be a part of our T-shirt campaign. We believe this is the perfect opportunity for you to help us to come up with the right statements. What we wear says a lot about who we are. The right design has the power to build greater awareness of the role we can all pay.

By-My-Art wants you to share your vision and define the human experience within a complex ecological system, one person at a time.

By-My-Art will accept designs until 28 February at 12 pm, at which a distinguished panel of fashion and design experts will pick the top 10 T-shirts designs. By-My-Art FACEBOOK members will then have a week to vote online for their favorite of the final five designs, which will be printed and put on show at the Trinidad and Tobago Fashion Week in late May.

The winning designs will have a huge impact on how BY-My-Art is seen globally. We look forward to adding your T-s.
