“Inspiration for this project comes from the concept of stained glass windows. Stained glass is a technique which dates back as far as the 4th century. This decorative process showcases the power of fragmented designs and communicates that ‘Broken’ pieces can be the very beauty of an artform. By applying this influence to the offcut produced by the leather industry, we are able to generate one-of-akind garments that reduce the waste left on the cutting room floor, ready to be burned. This considered approach offers more sustainable manufacturing; overall paying greater respect the cows that provided the hides.”
