'After' explores a hopeful future shaped by climate change, where couture becomes a vehicle for renewal and responsibility. The main look embodies sustainability and innovation through upcycling and material storytelling. An origami-inspired puffer jacket is filled with wadding repurposed from vintage doona covers, transforming discarded textiles into sculptural volume. Deadstock Giorgio Armani fabric is reimagined into a wrap skirt and origami jacket, merging luxury heritage with contemporary responsibility. Developed through draping and precise hand-construction, the silhouette balances fluidity and structure, showcasing excellence in craft and finish. This look proves how sustainable techniques can drive imaginative, future-facing couture.

Outfit

The look “Sediment” features a high-neck, low-back bodysuit paired with a flowing silk maxi skirt with a wrap detail, completed by a puff origami wrap jacket that adds sculptural volume to the silhouette.
