Concept
There is magic everywhere | A practice in sustainable fashion
Research
Sustainable fashion is not a new concept.
It is here to stay and make a difference for the planet and its inhabitants.
My Interpretation
By embracing this philosophy, I found that everyday items — things often discarded without a second thought — could be transformed into something extraordinary. This approach not only nurtures my creativity but also promotes sustainability by giving new life to materials that might otherwise go to waste.

Outcome
Final Thoughts
Overall, I really enjoyed this process and repurposing unconventional materials has allowed me to foster greater creativity when it comes to solving problems and innovating something new.
If I were to do it again, I would find more materials that needed renewing. Maybe another renewable source to bind the materials together, or at least use less of it and paint it to get the colour I want.
