“I am a fashion designer,
but I work like a sculptor
- building every garment
piece by piece.”

TO RECYCLE - WHAT
ARE THE DIFFERENT
KINDS OF MATERIALS
YOU WORK WITH?
I work with existing materials: fabric, knickknacks, and natural materials that I can find
around me. Sometimes, I even use jeans,
leather, and readymade garments. Usually, I
follow the trend and translate them to suit my
ideas and taste.

WHAT DO YOU THINK
OF THE EXISTING
STATE OF RECYCLE
FASHION AND WHAT
STEPS CAN BE TAKEN
TO ENCOURAGE IT?
From where it started, I can see a lot of progress
in this area. A good idea would be to have an
assigned trademark for recycle fashion, like
the one for products made with pure wool. An
open market, where left over stock from big
companies can be exclusively used for recycling,
instead of throwing it. Another option could
be to reduce heavy taxes, to give eco fashion a
chance to succeed. This is only the beginning,
I am positive about the world’s response to
recycle / upcycle fashion.
