The students' works represent awareness of the problem of fast fashion, mass production and consumption, waste of textile products and clothing, and the problem of the textile industry, which is one of the biggest polluters of the environment. Denim has a long history and has been transformed into various shapes according to fashion. The cultivation and production of cotton, dyeing and other denim treatments have a major impact on the environment, both in terms of water consumption and pollution and the exploitation of natural resources.
The students transformed and reproduced discarded denim clothing according to a certain high fashion clothing proposal into beautiful, unique and voluminous dresses made from old jeans, jeans shirts and jackets, and white cotton. Rich handmade details, steering wheels and perfect tailoring are the work of reproduction of one of the high-fashion Dior collections.
