​

This piece is part of the In Nets collection and originated from nylon waste collected by fishermen. In Nets is created to extend the life of existing materials and to combat the ghost fishing phenomenon, were abandoned, lost, or otherwise discarded fishing nets continue to catch and kill marine life.

​

This dress is made of a knotted nylon network. A tulle-like material that is soft, lightweight, stretchy, and water absorbing. This network is used to make fish traps that are used primarily in freshwater to catch eels.

The garment can transform into a long sleeve or sleeveless top, a mini dress, a skirt or paneled entirely together as a long dress. Featuring adjustable straps and neckline. Detach the hooks to create a style that suits you most.
