Woven from scraps
Woven from scraps
by Willa Tao
Inspired by a ticking wallet, this mini mannequin is a homage to Chanel's tweed fabric and the classic suits of the 1960s. I have repurposed discarded ribbons, straw hats, trimmings and Christmas decorations and woven them to create my own fabric. I aim to showcase the beauty of recycling and the harmonious co-existence of vintage elegance and modern innovation.
