One’s inner most thoughts – and Archive collections
Love, hate, anger, jealousy, sorrow, fear, despair, happiness…
Human emotion is infinite, free forever.
Yet, we have to survive against our mind sometimes.
To cover your body with fabric gives warmth and relief ,but at the same time can obstruct the mind or disguise thoughts.
This represents conflict over mutual feeling through body and fabric.
Re-cycle Style is an ethical project and fashion brand.
An enormous amount of waste is produced everyday and re-cycling is one way to reduce waste. We will try to change the image of re-cycling and provide a lead to people’s mind. This collection is profoundly connected with the city and its inhabitants.
