Upcycled jacket exploring the emotional bonds created by gifting.
Emma’s practice as an artist and fashion designer encapsulates theories of emotional durability which aim to disrupt the culture of fast fashion & newness. Using zero-waste pattern-cutting techniques and upcycling, Emma explores our emotional connection with clothes, elevating waste material to useful resources and minimising waste. Thus offering a new perspective on sustainable fashion.
