The materials used to make the dress are waste from the textile industry, the food industry, leather workshops and household garbage. The objective was to give new value to this refuse by creating high-quality dresses and accessories. Digital manufacturing tools such as laser cutters and traditional processes were used to produce the dress. Moreover, the project also has a social value as it uses recycled materials and helps disadvantaged categories.
