The Story

Created for a fashion show themed around the ocean, this piece combines punk and gothic influences with mystical, spiritual imagery. The design was inspired by a cloudy beach atmosphere: the denim and metal details bring a raw punk aesthetic, while the flowing skirt evokes the movement of ocean waves.

The entire look was made from donated, second-hand, and leftover materials. The base was a donated black dress, combined with a black-grey denim pair of trousers and scraps of grey plaid fabric and dark blue denim from previous projects. The upper part was reconstructed into a structured denim vest, while the remaining denim and scraps were transformed into a matching bag.

To strengthen the connection to the sea, we used a fishing rope found on the beach as a belt. Chains and eyelets were added as punk details, bringing the final look closer to our own identity while giving discarded materials a new life.
