“Plasticity” is a collection of three garments made with all recycled materials. Sustainability is at the forefront of design in my mind. This collection demonstrates the importance of repurposing materials in creative ways. We must be adaptable and malleable, conscious of how we can reuse materials. Visually, I wanted to capture the aesthetic characteristics of plasticity. I utilized organic lines, shapes, forms, textures and materials which I felt captured a sense of plasticity. I felt it was important to show how materials can be manipulated into both functional garments and aesthetically oriented garments.
