Star regeneration

In Larissa von Planta’s 2016 Central Saint Martins BA Womenswear Final Collection she seeks to understand the value of nostalgic attachments in inherited family garments and textiles; objects which continue to age, fade and disintegrate. By up-cycling her grandmother’s and great-grandmother’s dresses and other refined collected fabrics, she considers the person who used to wear them, how they were valued and why they were kept.
