Blue Ants
Blue Ants is a clothing collection made from transformed old garments. The dark blue fabrics are taken from blue work overalls, and decorative patterns are based on historical food stamps. The prints are produced with cyanotype photography, in which sunlight replaces a printing machine. Laser cutting gives the fabric a two-dimensional and three-dimensional effect that follows the curves of the body. The classic overall silhouette is twisted and bound. The collection is offered in variable sizes.

The A' Fashion, Apparel and Garment Design Award is an international, juried, academic and meritocratic design competition which honors outstanding design of runway collections, dresses, suits, skirts, outerwear, jackets, apparel, garments and more.
