How do you use creativity to save the world? Our answer: Eamon Lynch-McKinney. Eamon submitted a video that carefully detailed the process he went through to transform a sail from an old boat, seat belts, and an old camera bag into a pair of pants and a hiking-style backpack. It is evident that Eamon is already well on his way to achieving his vision of becoming a fashion designer that uses new techniques to “reframe the American narrative of fast fashion” as he puts it. We’re just excited to be a part of his journey!
