“The dying world”

Created for the Macleah Valley fashion show in 2024.

This body of work focusses on raising awareness for the environmental challenges facing our world. Recognising the significant environmental impact of the fashion industry, Anne utilises reclaimed fabrics, old curtains, and dead-stock fabric to design jackets and garments showing the narrative of our rapidly deteriorating planet. Through the depiction of dying nature, bushfires, and wilting potted plants appliquéd onto the jackets, she aimes to evoke discomfort in the viewer and prompt them to make more mindful choices when purchasing clothing.

This collection demonstrates a diverse range of techniques, using natural plant dyed wool, as well as showcasing patchwork and appliqué methods.
