The Eco Ego

For my first year project I focused on the eighties, and one of the truly most iconic artist of the times: Grace Jones. Glamorous Jones and her extravagant lifestyle embraced other spectacular artist such as Issey Miyake and Keith Harring and places like Studio54. With extravagance of the eighties being replaced by sustainability of the 2020’s, I had to be innovative in my choice of materials and ways of use. The white suit was made of deadstock materials, with wide shoulders that was the characteristics of the eighties. The red jacket was made out of 100% deadstock cotton which makes is recyclable. It features Keith Harring’s famous graphic shapes embroidered on the jacket. The corset was made by melting recyclable plastic onto a mould.
