AYA YAMANAKA is designing and creating clothing out of
everyday common materials – from towels, curtains, and blankets,
to left over textiles and unworn clothing. A sustainable process
of reimagining deteriorated fabrics; typically used in home goods,
and transforming them into new pieces of clothing, giving them
a completely new purpose and life. An ethical, responsible, and
transparent path, challenging the fashion industry’s shortcomings.
