Semi-Finalist, Green Carpet Competition, 'Celebrating Italy'

My work was inspired by the idea of Made in Italy and Celebrating Italy. I wanted to capture the beauty and emotion that I had experienced while living there.

The tailored double breasted jacket is made of an innovative eco leather tanned with rhubarb plant. I created the lasercut lace which was developed through my personal imagery of Italy- from Portofino and Firenze, to the Italian flower lily, and the idea of Italian culture and closeness. The laser cut was done using an energy efficient CO2 machine.
