RMIT Bachelor of Fashion (Design)

For my collection, I explore the potential future of fashion in a post-apocalyptic world shaped by environmental collapse and resource scarcity. By repurposing primarily second-hand jeans and employing techniques such as zero-waste cutting and modular design, I create garments that embody resilience, adaptability, and survivability. My collection challenges traditional fashion norms and encourages us to think more deeply about how we can repurpose and transform what is left over to build a more sustainable future.
