For the 2023 NYU Gallatin Fashion Show: Renewal, I designed and created looks entirely out of recycled materials. This collection tells the story of aliens who have landed on Earth and decided to put on a campy runway show to exhibit how their planet has made use of the atmospheric debris that has polluted their hemisphere. Recyclables and clothing no longer worn were upcycled to promote sustainability and take a stance against fast fashion.

For NYU's 2040 Re-Fashion Show, I upcycled a green sweater that was extremely uncomfortable to wear without an undershirt as it was very itchy, and a fuchsia turtleneck that accidentally shrunk in the dryer. I cropped and distressed the green sweater to create a mossy overlay top, and used the ribbed neck of the turtleneck to create a flower.
