upcycled & one of a kind

Zero Waste Designs

ZERO WASTE is the goal for the garments I make, they embody the traditional concept of a circular economy where materials, fabrics, and used clothes have multiple life cycles reducing the negative impact on the environment.
We keep and value the history of each piece. Its past life is as important 
as the future we re-invent.

Individuality 

My ambition is to create spaces where there are no boundaries or labels. Where we collectively move away from binary stereotypes celebrating difference, uniqueness, personal identity and expression.

COLLABORATIONS

ACE HOTEL Sydney Decorations Design 

Born of the desire to give a second life to everyday waste, discarded objects, and that which is left behind, this project reclaims beauty for the overlooked and celebrates living sustainably by using the resources we already have.  

LEGS ON THE WALL Lovers Costume Design

Legs On The Wall’s LOVERS was a dazzling spectacle with five queer couples each performing an aerial duet from the iconic Quay Quarter Tower overlooking the World Pride March.

DENIM COLLECTION

Every upcycling adventure begins with the selection of high-quality denim. We scour thrift stores, donation centers, and even closets to rescue denim that's no longer in use. These forgotten jeans are the building blocks of our artistic creations.
