RE-IMAGINING WA$TE

Selected from over 1,200 global entries as a Top 30 Finalist for the 2020 Bilbao International Art and Fashion (BIAAF) competition.

This capsule collection takes a stand against the textile waste crisis by challenging the perceived lifespan of apparel through aggressive upcycling, physically deconstructing thick sneaker components and sportswear to hand-construct bespoke evening bodices.

It is a labor-intensive exploration of material worth, elevating discarded textiles into high-fashion armor and proving that true luxury lies in the philosophy of transformation.
