Waste to Wearable

The aim of my collection was to create objects from things that have been discarded, that are so beautiful we would want to wear them. My focus was on developing innovative techniques that can take compact discs and transform them into beautiful, unrecognisable wearables. I hope my collection can change the perception of recycled materials and inspire others to upcycle too.
