redress Design Award Collection

For her Redress Design Award Collection, Organic Camouflage, Bianca draws inspiration from the contrast between military uniforms and organic prints, representing all the negativity that stained the human spirit and seduced men into fighting amongst themselves. She applies the design techniques of up-cycling and reconstruction to old military uniforms collected from retired Italian soldiers as well as cut-and-sew waste from her previous collection adding natural prints to give these  relics a new life.
