Project
This fashion series reframes the use of real fur in contemporary fashion by shifting the focus from controversy toward materiality, sustainability, and tactile beauty. Working with vintage and upcycled pieces, the project presents fur as a durable, circular material, in contrast to synthetic fast-fashion alternatives. Through a high-fashion visual language, the series questions contemporary ideas of value, luxury, and sustainable consumption.
