We live in a challenging context, however, we must use design as a tool to question and change things. The concept of the collection is based on antagonizing and criticizing the current state of the fashion sector. This questioning is materialized through the creation of a capsule collection of recycled clothing in collaboration with a small neighborhood business. We use their scraps, fabrics and leftover pieces that have no outlet as raw material to make the collection.
The collection itself criticises fast fashion and its contribution to irresponsible consumption patterns, especially present in the habits of young people. The project is intended as a way of confronting the conventional and aims to transgress the merely aesthetic to represent a point of view that protests against what is happening.
