The knot dress

This outfit plays around with the reinterpretation of haute couture. Made entirely of recycled scraps, it aims to mimic both the shape and the laborious techniques of haute couture, with a twist of sustainability. The production of this piece lasted for two month – from cutting the pieces to assemble it, which was all done manually, using only selected scraps from our previous collections.

Combining a knot like technique on a laser cut base, we sculpted a unique shape, meant to emphasise the creativity and prove the endless possibilities of sustainable thinking.
