This collection, which embraces vintage textiles and upcycled materials, aims to empower individuality, self-expression, and ethical fashion. Inspired by the history of the Arts and Crafts movement, which parallels the present-day need for authenticity and craftsmanship in an industry struggling with trend cycles and overproduction. Through this blend of past and present, I am advocating for a conscious shift towards a more sustainable and authentic fashion future.
