REdress international design competition 2020

this collection is titled 'songs of the bush' and was inspired by the life and colours of the native birds of australia. reference was also taken from the nfl uniforms from the 1950's, juxtaposed with ultra-feminine under garments.

the materials used in this collection are all made from upcycled textiles collected from pre-consumer factory waste. these yarns were then dyed using natural dyes derived from cochineal, birch bark, weld, madder root and natural indigo. finally, all garments were made using zero-waste, circular knitting techniques.
