This creation is a statement, experiment, and investigation into how plastic and fabrics can and are used together within the fashion industry. Unfortunately, it's often the case that the clothes you’re wearing include plastic - not only in the actual fabric, but also in the shipping, delivery, and packaging of the product. 

With one side of the garment made from found plastic trash and the other made from patchwork fabric with holes to expose the underlayered plastic, I aimed to raise awareness on how much plastic goes into the clothes that we wear today. 

Furthermore, by utilizing “trash” in this sustainable way, it provokes the question of what a garment can be made out of, and hopefully inspires you to view and experiment with the power of second-hand materials.
