It’s not often you can use the word ‘rubbish’ when describing a designer’s collection - Avsh Alom Gur´s Recycling-Couture
31. May 2008 Designers & Labels, Sustainable Fashion
London-based fashion designer Avsh Alom Gur designs and creates REALLY unique collections of Womanswear that in the truest sense of the word challenge glamour while blending luxury and poverty, rubbish and couture, waste and luxury garments.
For his Spring/Summer 2008 collection Avsh Alom Gur collected rubbish from the London streets to convert it into his clothing.
Constructed between jewel colored silk and chiffon fabrics are Fox’s sweet packets and plastic shopping bags while red bull cans were used as medallion details in some of the garments. At a closer look, one can see that plastic caps were used as buttons and necklaces were constructed out of empty water bottles and strings. And, belive it or not, it works out very well. Who would have imagined?
