The Armorer Coat is probably one of the most intricate pieces of the collection yet so minimal, since everything in this piece is about the details.

The shape and several materials involved in the construction of this on-of-a-kind piece are a truly representation of how very different textures can complement each other with out interfering in the elegance of the design.

Everything started when I found two stunning cobalt blue pieces in my hands, that all that I knew is that I wanted to create something fabulous with them...

Beginning with the stunning lurex Wool that it is mainly made of.

Showcasing beautiful cobalt blue sleeves made of a recycled silk dress that was given to me by a dear friend, resulting in such a striking combination complemented with one of Noe's signature screen printing.

The second beautiful detail is the blue wool patches that came from a vintage wool skirt that I've treasured through the years, as the quality of the this wool is something very rare to find nowadays.

But honestly, you know me! and you know my feelings about sparkles right? well, I thought the best thing to complement this piece, was to bring a bit of shine with some sequined offcuts.

And last but not least, the shaggy patch! well, if you already saw The Archer jacket you may know by now what it is made of right? Yep, you got it, 100% recycled T-Shirt yarn!

The outcome? a beautifully tailored one-of-a-kind jacket with very sharp lines that are very flattering in any body shape, the perfect black light coat with splashes of color!

As its name suggests, and armorer being an official in charge, will give you the comfort that you need to stand out of the crowd with elegance, power and grace.
Style, Upcycled couture and simplicity at it's best!
Oh and did I mention it has pockets ?

The "Unparalleled Voyage" is an Upcycled collection inspired by city shapes, it is a continuation of the "Mixed Voyage" collection that was especially designed for The Geelong Design week exhibition. 

I created this collection in collaboration with the Architect and street artist Noe Mondragon aka Jerpone we used preloved materials, to highlight the importance of Slow fashion nowadays, and how architecture, design, and fashion are correlated. And now this unprecedent collection has been complemented with more limited edition pieces. 

I source the fabrics from preloved quality pieces and deadstock, so you are not only saving textiles from landfill, you are getting a unique piece of wearable art.
