Fashion collection/workshop

Inspired by previous workshops, The 180 Collection became a starting point for exploring garments turned upside down and inside out, creating a 180° shift in how clothing is worn and seen. The conceptual, screen-printed collection was presented at Maputo Fashion Week.

Brief

Develop a hands-on redesign workshop for young designers, using the 180° concept to challenge conventional ways of wearing, constructing, and thinking about clothing. Promote the collection and workshop through reverse graffiti in the city.

Outcome

The workshop created a space for young designers to experiment freely with existing garments, develop new ideas, and test different approaches to form, function, and reuse.
