While it is possible to explore almost every corner of the Earth on computer screens, is it possible to rediscover the world? This collection is inspired by receding views of Earth, where buildings, streets, and cars fade, leaving only geometrized contours. Coats made from sewing industry waste, it leads a new sustainable aesthetic. The textures of the fabrics resemble shifting landscapes, like maps seen from above, urging reflection on sustainability and global political tensions. The coat symbolizes warmth, offering refuge against life’s fragility and the uncertainty of changing world.
