This collection was developed as part of the Final Project for the Undergraduate Degree in Design — Fashion Design and was presented at the ESAD SHOWCASE, as part of bloom — portugal fashion show.
This collection explores clothing as an extension of the body, introducing elements such as hair, skin, texture, structure and deformation. The garments become a second bodily layer, simultaneously protective and expressive, questioning clothing as a simple form of covering. Through the reuse, deconstruction and transformation of existing materials, the project extends their lifespan and reduces the need for new resources, proposing a more sustainable and experimental approach.
