Re Created Sustainable Suite

Re Created Sustainable Suite is an innovative sustainable fashion collection that revolutionizes menswear through the creative repurposing of high-quality wool scraps from the sewing industry. This groundbreaking design approach, conceived by Lithuanian designer Kestutis Lekeckas, seamlessly integrates environmental consciousness with sartorial excellence, earning recognition with a Golden A' Design Award in the Fashion, Apparel and Garment Design category. The collection's distinctive aesthetic emerges from the artful combination of diverse textile fragments, featuring varying textures, colors, and proportions, resulting in unique, one-of-a-kind pieces that range from classical fitted suits to oversized silhouettes. Drawing inspiration from Earth Overshoot Day and Lithuanian national heritage, the collection incorporates traditional patchwork techniques and cultural elements while addressing contemporary sustainability challenges. Each suit, available in sizes 48 to 56, is meticulously crafted using only natural and organic materials, primarily focusing on premium 130s wool scraps. The design's versatility extends beyond its aesthetic appeal, offering multiple styling options that seamlessly transition between formal and casual wear, effectively expanding the garment's utility while promoting sustainable fashion principles. The collection's presentation in an apocalyptic-reminiscent setting serves as a powerful commentary on environmental consciousness, encouraging consumers to reconsider their values and embrace sustainable fashion choices. This innovative approach to luxury menswear demonstrates how waste materials can be transformed into sophisticated, versatile garments that challenge conventional fashion paradigms while promoting environmental responsibility.
