For "STRAIN", I've been exploring innovative ways to reuse and upcycle discarded fabrics and garments. I found a way to utilise them in the garment design process via methods of appliqué and patchwork. Old things such as corduroy trousers, curtains, waffle knit tees, denim jeans – they found a second life as design choices instead of going into landfill.
