Blue Ants

Blue Ants is a clothing collection made from transformed old garments. The dark blue fabrics are taken from blue work overalls, and decorative patterns are based on historical food stamps. The prints are produced with cyanotype photography, in which sunlight replaces a printing machine. Laser cutting gives the fabric a two-dimensional and three-dimensional effect that follows the curves of the body. The classic overall silhouette is twisted and bound. The collection is offered in variable sizes.

The Opposite

The Opposite is a unisex knitwear collection designed to be worn in multiple ways. The collection is made with zero-cut and zero-waste methods, so no fabric is discarded.

Items from the two outfits can be interchanged and matched in different combinations, which allows each wearer to create a personal style. The all-size design fits most people of average build. The Opposite questions common ideas about menswear and womenswear.

Turandot Armor

The costume industry generates pieces that become obsolete when the season ends, because they can rarely be used again. So, of this problem was that a sustainable costume project was proposed, which present a design for an operatic outfit using sustainable techniques such as upcycling with knitting deadstock and a creation of biomaterials made from orange waste based on the circular economy. The project seeks to reuse existing materials and develop new materials in order to counteract pollution in fashion.

Hmong Silver

Cherished in the Qing and Ming eras, the Mamian heritage skirts are beloved for their symbolism of power and strength. Two exquisite techniques in oriental history : mother of pearl inlays and Hmong silver craft serves as the foundation for this design. Owning a Mamian heritage skirt is akin to possessing a fragment of oriental mystery. It is a celebration of nature's wonders, human ingenuity, and the timeless pursuit of beauty that transcends eras and cultures.

Peregrina

Peregrina is a 1900 era ladies stage costume, presented with accessories and an Edwardian slip. The garments are made from repurposed, upcycled, antique and period appropriate materials, including cotton, hemp, silk, linen, wool, straw, feather and metal hardware. The pattern is simple, reflecting the skills expected of a home sewist around 1900. The main components of the suit are reversible, so one set of pieces provides several outfits. Hidden or dual purpose hardware, including buttons and hooks and eyes, keeps the pieces aligned and supports the weight of the heavy fabrics.
