Fashion Collection created in 2019 using a collection of DIY and architectural techniques to arrive at deconstructed articles of upycled clothings. Modeled by Nis, Atticus and Annie. 

Graphic illustrationscreated to synthesize a unified collection of graphics, freeway/thorns, with a refined grunge look.
