Holly McQuillan

Holly McQuillan is a New Zealand designer specialising in zero waste garment design and zero-waste fashion, a field in which she is considered "[one] of the most prominent proponents".[1] She is senior lecturer in design in the College of Creative Arts at Massey University, and the co-author of Zero Waste Fashion Design with Timo Rissanen.[2] She holds a BDes and an MDes from Massey University[3] and is currently undertaking a PhD in sustainable fashion design practice at the Swedish School of Textiles, in Högskolan I Borås (University of Borås) in Sweden.[4]

McQuillan co-founded Space Between, a green business model for fashion design which acts as a platform for social innovation and enterprise, with Massey University colleague Jennifer Whitty.[5] In 2015, Te Papa acquired a collection of up-cycled garments from the Space Between Fundamentals range for their collection.[5]

In 2015, ObjectSpace in Auckland, New Zealand held a show of her experimental zero-waste and modifiable clothing collection Make/Use.[6] Make/Use is a system for open source, user-modifiable, zero-waste fashion practice.[7]
