Hi there! My name is Andrea and I love to sew, craft and DIY, and I love sharing my passion with new people. My mission is to promote more sustainable design practices in the fashion industry by encouraging "slow fashion" and the use of recycled and natural materials. Making my own clothes encourages me to think critically about the environmental and socio-cultural impacts of the current fashion and design industry, and I advocate that other do the same. Furthermore, I push myself to critique and challenge the ways we over-consume new materials and strive to find sustainable solutions to counter this imbalance in an ever-growing global market.
My projects are mainly personal, but I often design more elaborate pieces like stage costumes, burlesque ensembles and cosplay. |
