10c

Single Use
A mini dress from single-use plastic bags. This piece was a commentary on the 1960s when paper mini dresses were introduced as one of the first trends in cheap and dispensable fashion.
This collection is dedicated to a friend, Leif Justham.
A hero who believed in change and bringing awareness to issues relating to climate and habitat degradation.
On a journey to cycle solo around Australia and promote the need to divest from polluting industries, Leif Justham was tragically struck and killed.
As such an important environmental advocate, this collection is a plead to reset and understand that the way we consume is no longer sustainable.
