About Me

Im a Spanish/Cuban, German artist raised in England & Germany and studied fashion design in Milan. Passionate about taking on challenges and conducting in-depth research on inspiration and experimentation. My focus is on enhancing wearable yet unique designs through textile manipulation and print development. I'm committed to reducing waste in the fashion industry by upcycling clothes through deconstructing and exploring garment functions.

 

I believe in using creativity to make a positive impact while creating beautiful and functional fashion.

One strategy for slow fashion is upcycling; prolonging the life of a garment which prevents it from reaching a landfill. 

​

Taking into account that one pair of jeans uses 3,781 litres of water to make, I conducted an experiment on how many “lives” one pair of jeans can potentially have.

I wanted to understand if upcycling was easy enough for a regular person to follow, so my project was done with no extra fabric, no hardware, no patterns and no mannequins. Only a sewing machine, scissors and me. 

In total, I managed to make 7 garments.
