'THE BANK OF ORNAMENTS' - GRADUATE COLLECTION

MA Fashion Design

Estonian Academy of Arts, 2023

In my master’s thesis, I explore the potential of upcycling and database-driven narratives in developing a concept for a headwear label, aspiring to counter the wastefulness and value inflation of garments in the fashion industry.

The final collection uses original details from vintage headwear and transforms previous imperfections into design elements, valuing and highlighting their historical context.
