The Story

This piece was crafted by upcycling 6 pairs of discarded jeans and a brushed jersey skirt. Inspired by Buenos Aires' identity, it reflects the art of tango and fileteado. It incorporates salvaged elements like old zippers and English seam strips that I separate to reuse. To shape the garment, I worked the pattern-making plastically and manually directly on the mannequin, ensuring the final design retains the power of handcrafted work.
