This upcycled look is made from 365 unwanted t-shirts!

Our young designers outfit, No Place Like Home, was created to raise awareness about homelessness in Ireland - each t shirt representing a night someone might spend on the streets in a year. The t-shirts were cut into continuous yarn, and after attending crochet and macrame workshops, our young designer experimented with techniques to bring her vision to life. 

The skirt was adapted from a macrame curtain pattern, and the train is designed to be repurposed into a blanket. Each piece can be worn separately or together as one powerful statement look, complete with handmade accessories.
