About the project
The project explores the potential of traditional weaving techniques, which, when combined with new technologies, create a methodology capable of integrating different types of materials into a homogeneous pattern. These materials remain easily separable at the end of their lifecycle, facilitating disposal and recycling. This approach fosters a dynamic dialogue between tradition and innovation while extending the lifespan of elements that would otherwise be considered “waste”.
For this project, a vest was designed entirely from leather industry scraps. However, this weaving technique is versatile and can be applied to a variety of materials, including felt, nylon, and even certain biomaterials like kombucha.
Specifically, in the vest design, laser cutting was used to create a pattern of evenly distributed perforations across the leather scraps. These perforations serve as an ideal structure for attaching pockets, which can be fastened using specialized threaded metal rivets. As a result, the vest becomes a customizable garment, allowing users to select and attach pockets based on their daily needs.
About the talent
I am a designer particularly dedicated to the world of fashion design and service design. In the projects I undertake, I always adopt a “problem-solving” approach, focusing on the needs of end users and designing solutions that effectively address them.
In the field of service design, I am especially committed to territorial design, placing community needs at the center of my work. Similarly, in fashion design, I prioritize the needs of “model users” when designing accessories and garments.
The clothing I create is typically made from upcycled materials, sourced both from the textile industry and other sectors. I strive to incorporate non-traditional materials into fashion, exploring unconventional resources for crafting accessories and garments.
