Anne-Marie Laflamme
Anne-Marie Laflamme is a clothing and object designer based in Tiohtià:ke / Montreal. She holds a bachelor's degree in fashion design from the University of Quebec in Montreal and a graduate certificate in digital technologies in artistic design practice from Concordia University. Since 2009, she has co-directed the design studio atelier b, where she explores sustainable practices. In parallel with her design practice at atelier b, Anne-Marie is developing an experimental practice where she creates series of object-sculptures that reflect on textile waste. She decided to bring the research on textile circularity and zero-waste manufacturing processes begun at atelier b into Concordia University's Master of Design programme. In parallel with her research, Anne-Marie has been teaching as a lecturer in Concordia University's Department of Design and Digital Arts since 2016.
Her approach revolves around research through the act of making and creation as environmental activism. She seeks to raise awareness of the often opaque impacts of the manufacturing industry of object design, by giving a voice to the material and promoting handmade, slow production and artisanal know-how. This ecofeminist approach promotes a sustainable vision, where every creative gesture becomes a stance on the ecological and social challenges of our time.
