However, such sensibilities are not extended to the type of apparel worn by chefs. As a result Dajoji Inc. aims to extend the same eco-friendly sensibilities to chef’s apparel. Cotton grown under conventional methods involves use of hazardous pesticides. Thus, Dajoji Inc., a Vancouver-based company, in collaboration with Texas Organic Cotton Farmers Cooperative, designs stylish organic chef jackets from organic cotton in efforts to extend these sensibilities to the chef’s apparel. According to Dajoji Inc. founder Anthony Nicalo â€Å"sustainability is important, but not the driving force behind Dajoji’s coats†. Nicalo wonders whether it is possible to see a â€Å"chef meticulously plating her latest 100-Mile Diet creation wearing something akin to a paper sack† (Robinson par 4). This underlines Nicalo’s motivation to create jackets designed on functionality rather than on sustainability. Such a motivation emanates from the need to design chef jackets that enable chefs to easily operate in fast-paced environment that is characteristic of a professional kitchen. Nicalo’s creations are informed by his first hand experienced in a fast paced kitchen. Having worked 14 hour a in a busy Chicago restaurant, Nicalo grew tired of the conventional jackets; they were uncomfortable and made the wearer feel boxed, thus the desire to design organic jackets that also improves performance. Having relocated to Vancouver, Nicalo found his match in Leanne McElroy, an ethical fashion designer. Together, they collaborated in creating organic cotton chef jackets, designed to enhance movement; the jackets had â€Å"an athletic fit, a bit of style and lots of comfort† (Robinson par 6).Advertising Looking for essay on art and design?
