There are many abandoned buildings and places around the world, some abandoned due to disasters and some due to various infections. Nature and animals returned to all these places.
I was inspired by photographers who photograph abandoned places and buildings around the world. One can see the decay of destruction and rust on the one hand, and on the other the glorious nature that comes to take what belonged to it in the first place. The pictures are spectacular in their beauty. However, they predict our end.
I made the connection to the fashion world quite easily. The fashion industry is one of the most polluting industries in the world, as a vegan and designer I felt I had to give solutions to some of the problems, and to reduce our ecological footprint.
The collection is a ready to wear menswear collection, inspired by hiking, camping and outdoor clothing. I used vegan and natural fabrics that I dyed using an ecological dyeing technique based on plant or various recycled materials.
