Long description

Garments are identity and connection. As identical twins, it is a way to both distinguish and unite ourselves. What you wear shows how you feel, who you are or want to be, and tells us a lot about others. Through our interest in the clothing industry, we discovered its polluting side and big impact on the environment and vulnerable (people in) societies. We began investigating how things can be done differently. How do we reconnect with garments and ensure that it gains more value? When our grandma passed -who was known for her fashion choices- we saw that a lot of her clothing remained untouched in her closet. Though through her garments we feel connected. It has been the closest to her skin, has her scent, and above all, it is a tangible piece that represents her stories and our memories of her. That is when we realized clothing could be very valuable for the grieving process. We started using her garments to make something new for ourselves. Memorable pieces honoring her, as well as doing justice to our own identity. Now we would love to introduce this to other families who have lost someone.
