Crafted from waste yarns and thread, my ’excess threads’ coat serves as both a statement and a reflection of our current fashion landscape. Wearable art, transforming what would otherwise be discarded into something beautiful and purposeful. Each stitch telling a story of excess, urging us to reconsider our consumption habits and recognise the value in what we often overlook. Through this creation, I aim to provoke thought and inspire conversations about sustainability and responsibility in fashion.

Together, we can unravel this paradox and seek solutions for a cleaner, more sustainable future.
Crafted from repurposed pieces of unwanted denim jeans, ‘denim dilemma’ embodies the potential for transformation and the beauty of second chances. It is a statement about the urgent need for conscious consumerism and sustainable practices. By shedding light on the consequences of our consumption habits, I invite viewers to reflect on their own choices and explore alternatives that honour both our planet and our style..
