“Inspiration: This outfit plays around with the reinterpretation of haute couture. Made entirely of recycled scraps, it aims to mimic both the shape and the laborious techniques of haute couture, with a twist of sustainability. The production of this piece lasted for two month – from cutting the pieces to assemble it, which was all done manually, using only selected scraps from our previous collections.
Materials and techniques: Combining a knot like technique on a laser cut base, we sculpted a unique shape, meant to emphasise the creativity and prove the endless possibilities of sustainable thinking.”
