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.
