My Motivation
I was inspired by the sculpture textile work of artist Mrinalini Mukherjee. I think my design fuses artisan techniques with a strong symbolic meaning and recycled material because sustainability is the only way we can start to change the impact of the Textile industry in the environment.
My Vetrine Journey
The biggest challenge was not a surprise because from the start I was concerned about the time it would take to cut all donated T-shirts into stripes to manually knot these stripes to the fishing net strings all over the cape, profusely so specially in the half bottom part. It was a matter of time and patience and a little help from classmates, teachers and mentor. But mostly my time and effort. Also the weight of the cape makes it a bit cumbersome to fit on a mannequin.
Sustainability Aspect | Your Actions / Explanation |

Financial | Zero production cost long product lifespan, locally sourced materials |
A Message to Consumers
This is a garment that has a symbolic use to remind us of the power of nature and that tries to blur the borders between assigned genres in the sense that the garment is unisex.
A Message to Future Learners
I would advise them to design for longevity because sustainability isn’t just about eco materials—it’s about making clothes people keep for years, just like these fishing nets have been in use for years and the T-shirts too. Focus on durable construction, timeless silhouettes and repairable designs (one can easily be mended)
The longer a garment lasts, the lower its impact.
