Sustainability and ecological fashion have played a big part in my creative and academic work.
Although I love fashion and its creative process, it is extremely damaging to our planet and ways of recycling, upcycling, repurposing and being ecologically conscious are important to consider when creating clothing.
I have experimented in many different mediums over the years in sustainable and ecological projects; take a look at some of them below :)
