Entry Description

A fully sustainable 3 piece tailored gender fluid suit to show waste can be turned into a high quality garment. Consisting of 4 recycled coffee sacks lined with off cuts from ‘Seed to Selfs’ ethical cotton produced using traditional techniques and non toxic dyes. Old rusted bottle tops with holes punched into them convert into buttons. The belt is made from a used bicycle tyre tube. On the back of the waistcoat birds are hand embroidered as a reminder of natures beauty. Hand painted trees on the cotton lining of the jacket are a symbol of what we need to protect.
