Tear to Wear



















The collection Tear to Wear Includes 3 outfits, that require the wearer to rip them open before they can be worn. This initial struggle to open the fabric initiates a personal connection, as the imperfections created by ripping become an integral part of the garment’s character. This process is central to Tear to Wear, emphasizing the unpredictable and inevitable nature of wear in everything close and dear to us. It is essential to form a deeper relationship with the things we wear, highlighting our unique stories and how these objects play special roles in our lives.

THis project was nominated for the -Melkweg award-
