CYCLE – Upcycling, recycling and biodegradable materials in footwear design
The CYCLE collection is an attempt to implement the assumptions of the circular economy in the process of designing and implementing footwear. The collection consists of five pairs of high-heeled boots, made of leather production waste and plastic obtained from packaging.
BACHELOR DIPLOMA, 2022
In light of the current climate crisis, I decided to use what has already been produced instead of new, traditionally used materials in footwear production. I collected unwanted waste and trash, then processed them using my own method, giving them new life.
