A striking corset-and-skirt ensemble, sculpted entirely from reclaimed denim, breathes new life into discarded fragments through daring experimental construction. Drawing inspiration from the sea — its shifting forms, textures, and rhythms — the design becomes a dialogue between structure and fluidity. The voluminous balloon skirt, crafted from countless pieces of repurposed denim, swells into a dynamic silhouette, its surface alive with texture and movement. The corset, in contrast, embraces a sharper architectural language, balancing rigidity against the skirt’s flowing energy. Together, they embody transformation: waste reborn as a second skin, denim reimagined with poetic force. This piece is not just fashion — it is a manifesto of creativity, proving the untapped potential of reclaimed materials.

Took two dresses from Goodwill and transformed them into one piece for a Fairytale Runway show.

Our first post is a throwback to our show in New York, which took place as part of New York City Fashion Week, thanks to the amazing @167mottst! Photos by @_a.lens It was such a magical time for us. And here’s a little sneak peek—we’ll be doing many more shows this year!

Dry Earth Purse This piece started as the end of a cylindrical pillowcase. Other parts of the purse include flannel, velvety blanket lining, and a dog leash for the strap.

My project started from discarded jeans to a one-of-a-kind triangle bomber. The denim was gathered from my surroundings like neighbours, friends, people from work and complemented with lots sourced from second-hand shops. Each pair was washed, then carefully selected for its most durable sections and hand-cut into individual triangles. The colour palette emerged from what I found, allowing the denim itself to guide the design. The resulting patchwork was then adapted to my original bomber patterns and constructed into a new garment. Techniques: thrift flipping, denim deconstruction, hand cutting, patchwork piecing, colour composition, pattern adaptation and garment construction.

For decades, the office shirt and trousers have symbolized structure, seriousness, and conformity. I wanted to challenge that narrative by transforming discarded corporate wear into a bold, contemporary look that celebrates confidence, creativity, and self-expression. This piece proves that professionalism doesn’t have to be rigid, it can be relaxed, expressive, and undeniably stylish. This look was created by deconstructing multiple office garments and rebuilding them through pattern drafting, patchwork construction and corsetry. Every fabric was intentionally selected and positioned to create harmony between contrasting colours and prints. The fitted corset required precise shaping & topstitching By deconstructing and redesigning thrifted office garments into a modern three-piece ensemble and matching tote bag, I gave both the fabric and its meaning a second life. This design is a reminder that sustainability isn’t just about reducing waste, it’s about reimagining possibilities.

This bag was made from handwoven cotton scraps dyed with natural indigo, which I collected from a rural weaving community in Northeastern Thailand (Isan). The artisans harvest raw cotton plants for fiber and use natural indigo to create the deep blue color. Seeing the incredible care that goes into every stage of production made me deeply appreciate even the smallest leftover scraps. I took these pieces, patched them together, and hand-stitched them using the Sashiko technique to turn the fabric remnants into a unique, meaningful bag.

This linen crop top is made entirely from upcycled linen scraps, pieced together using freeform patchwork and detailed with hand-stitching using leftover threads. For the design, I drew inspiration from 17th-century women—imagining their voluminous skirts paired with an imperfect, raw-textured top. To me, it forms a surprisingly beautiful harmony.
