I used this coat designed by @the_visionary_lab made out of denim developed out of plastic bottles collected out of the ocean, as my canvas. This year in worldwide pandemic created a multitude of positive change. One of these changes is nature restoring it’s plethora of bio culture and equilibrium in the sea. The sea are the lungs of the earth as are the rainforests.
I call my art : ‘CRESCERE ( TO GROW), a spiritual ode to the majestic sea’.
Studio Irma x MOCO Museum added an extra dimension to all pieces exhibited with a unique Augmented Reality experience, bringing the exhibition to life.
Creative agency the Visionary Lab and G-STAR RAW, champions of sustainability in the denim industry, present DENIM FOR EARTH; a platform which demonstrates creatively and innovatively that art, fashion, denim and sustainability go hand in hand.
The Visionary Lab invited fashion designers and artists: Karim Adduchi, Charlotte Bakkenes , Yuki Isshiki, Yulia Ivanova, Bagua Jody, Majid Karrouch, Ferry Schiffelers and Tess van Zalinge - to create denim couture, inspired by G-Star RAW circular denim innovations.
💙It was a privilege to contribute to this beautiful joint effort with amazingly talented visionaries. 💙
