Sustainable Fashion

This collection originated from thrown out clothing from the cycle. The items I received are garments that the thrift store could not sell and would be destroyed. Giving new life to discarded clothing, I try to prevent the waste of these existing materials. I look at the different elements that the garment has. I then use these elements to shape every outfit, so there is always a different outcome. The looks are adaptable to different body types. This way there is no need to think about who will be the carrier of the garment and it will be more diverse. When I create I try to look for shapes in my designs. I usually start with draping on the mannequin and don't know what the end result will be. I am always looking for some big shapes, playfulness and use of fabrics around any human body. With these tools I am trying to achieve the shape I have in mind. I never stop looking for, and learning new things. With my graduation collection I learned a lot about what’s important in fashion and how I can change it.
