CONCEPT: DECONSTRUCTION
MODEL: BHUVI NAGPAL
CONCEPT:
“Embodying a dump-to-hanger ethos and celebrating responsible recycling of materials and innovative designs, WUD’s denim collection converges streetwear and fashion as it is grounded on deconstructed denims. The designers have worked with raw scrap materials, breaking down the basic elements of jeans wear, and combining denim with other fabrics. The result is a collection of unique pieces that have been deconstructed and reassembled into new proposals.”
