This project was about deconstructing old garments and reconstructing into new ones. I up-cycled old jackets, shirts and t-shirts to create a heavy, draping dress. Inspired by British punk style and Vivienne Westwood, I was able to sew together existing prints and create new compositions. Draping the old shirts created shadows and distortion.
