Sustainability - Emo Kids

The Concept

Emo kids grew up. They still wear the same band T-shirts, but now the leather is reclaimed and the studs are set by hand.

Materials and Sourcing

This collection takes the raw energy of early-2000s emo and punk - the studded belts, the band patches, the plaid shirts tied around the waist - and rebuilds it as fashion. NIRVANA denim, plaid patchwork, leather jackets covered in hand-set studs. Nothing new was purchased. All materials were sourced from thrift stores, donations, and the studio scrap pile.

Recognition

The collection won the Dizengoff Centre sustainable fashion competition and was featured on the cover of Yediot Aharonot's fashion supplement. It was shown at Fashion Week 2021 - my statement that sustainability is not a trend or a limitation. It's how I've always worked. You take what exists. You make it mean something new.
