Through the "Working Class" collection, I explored how embroidery and hand-stitching techniques on upcycled denim could challenge traditional ideas of class and labor. By reworking discarded or passed-down materials, I aimed to highlight the environmental impact of overconsumption and our tendency to throw away rather than repair. The collection’s dramatic silhouettes and bleaching techniques speak to transformation—revealing how waste can be reimagined into something powerful, expressive, and new.
