The Four Donkeys Of The Apocalypse

What clothing would look like it it was made from remants after an apocalypse?

Growing up in Zimbabwe, for birthdays and Christmas, my parents would say “You can have whatever you’d like as long as we can make it!”. It’s that sensibility of using what we have to make what we need that has permeated my design aesthetic. There are a couple of words I choose to disassociate myself from and that’s “ethical” and “sustainable” because I believe those words have been defiled in the industry, instead, I use the word resourceful.

Also, going through my degree funding the whole thing myself while working two jobs, I got very used to fishing fabric and trims out of waste bins and charity shops, and now it’s impossible for me to design from ‘new’ materials. This led to this collection being about what clothing could potentially look like if, after an apocalypse, a brand had to create garments from scraps collected over several months.
