We, humans, have altered the natural balance of our planet. The Anthropocene begins as a new geological era that corrupts that harmony. We live in a time full of pollution, plastics, and climate change, we approach the sixth extinction.
This collection intends to be both a social denunciation and a stream of fresh air in our obstinate feud against nature. We reemerge beauty as a reencounter with humanity.
Human actions all over the planet are shown across the collection: rubbish-bag-inspired garments as the epitome of hyperconsumerism, patchwork print dresses based on the eucalyptus leaf—a tree that signifies monoculture and deforestation of the virgin forests–, costume jewelry, or crinkle designs that highlight mining and the desertification of the lands.
PET plastic bottles embody another perfect example of the Anthropocene, and plastic waste is also transformed into a bag line.
