Redress Design Award Collection
For his Redress Design Award (formerly the EcoChic Design Award) application, Titat applies the design technique of reconstruction to counterfeit clothing sourced from a local wholesale market, which would otherwise be slashed or incinerated by authorities. Giving the textiles a second life by cutting and handweaving into new materials, his elegant collection draws on inspiration from the extravagance of Victorian era elites.
