“What we wear is related to our environmental and social footprint. We can’t deny what the earth has lived through these past years on a global scale. The Earth, just like our lives and those of the garments we wear, decompose until their inevitable last breath.” – Maria Pons Porta

redress Design Award Collection

Maria’s Redress Design Award collection, ‘DISNEA’, is conceived around the need to unchain from superficial appearances in order to breathe freely and show our true selves. The collection contains hand-made embroideries and is composed of organic cotton, bamboo, and silk. To lower environmental impact, Maria uses dyes from natural products such as turmeric, beet, indigo, and spirulina algae, which can fade over the years, illustrating how all things decompose in the end.
