Entry Description

Overgrowth integrates bundle dyed yarns, botanical motifs and cablework to create a contemporary heirloom. Duplicate stitch simultaneously reinforces and acts as embellishment growing across the sweater’s surface. Details like removable sleeves and a hidden message invite continuous discovery. Inside the main zipper, a hand-embroidered ribbon reads, 'Have you figured out what beauty is for? And have you changed your life?' Overgrowth encourages its wearer to reflect on how their appreciation for nature’s beauty can align with their actions, through the intimate connection of fabric on skin.
