RECYCLING VISION
Driven to make a change in the fast fashion industry, Dana invented an innovative approach to ecological fabric manufacturing.
She found a way to give a new cycle of life to clothes we consider as unwearable. Discarded knits are shredded into monochromatic fibers that are then felted into new recycled textile. This metamorphosis is illustrated by integrating a new knit within the recycled textile. The collection is designed to push a recycling agenda forward and to question the common perception that recycled products are unattractive or invaluable.
INSPIRATION
The collection is inspired by the massive city growth in the past 40 years, the overtaking and marginalization of agricultural fields by urbanization. As the daughter of a farmer who experienced this process firsthand, Dana wanted to shed light on this phenomenon.
Dana used NASA aerial photographs that reveal the changes on the ground in cities all around the globe. The photographs are used as an inspiration for the colors and textures of the collection.
