Plastics OOOoooh!
Plastics OOOoooh!
-Beyond Couture...From Discard to Design
Opening Wednesday, November 29, 2023
In conceiving the plastic, transparent jacket, my design objective was to seamlessly fuse elements of progressive fashion with innovation, creating a garment that not only captivates the eye but also serves as a powerful medium for raising awareness about the pervasive issue of plastic waste.
By skillfully utilizing discarded plastic candy bags, zipper bags, and bubble wrappers, I aimed to redefine the boundaries of sustainable fashion through an eco-conscious lens. The transparency of the jacket metaphorically exposes the environmental transparency we often overlook, prompting a reevaluation of our collective responsibility towards sustainable living.
This unconventional design seeks to transcend traditional fashion paradigms, prompting a visual dialogue that encourages viewers to reconsider the environmental impact of their choices and, ultimately, champion a more sustainable future in the realm of design.
Maximize the garment's impact as a conversation starter to raise awareness about plastic waste and inspire action within communities!

Interview with New York Art Life, November 1, 2024
In my recent interview with NY Art Life, I had the opportunity to discuss my latest exhibition, Beyond Couture…From Discard to Design, hosted at Good Chaos. This exhibition is a deeply personal project that delves into sustainable fashion and the transformative power of upcycling. I shared insights into my creative process and how I sourced discarded materials to craft pieces that blur the lines between fashion and art.
During the interview, I highlighted my mission to challenge perceptions around waste, showcasing how overlooked materials can be reinvented into couture that celebrates creativity and conscious design. The conversation with NY Art Life allowed me to reflect on the impact of sustainable art and design practices in today's fashion landscape, and I'm thrilled to share this journey with a wider audience.
