Design Description

The project idea was to confront toxic masculinity. Harry Styles was an inspiration to us. People often throw out clothes and jewellery without realising their damage, like how society rejects people breaking gender norms. The creation is a stand against these issues and promotes upcycling clothes. The pants and top are made from bedsheets and pillowcases, decorated with jewellery. The crown was created with tabs from cans and was decorated with beads, and the umbrella was spray painted and adorned with plastic flowers

Materials Used: old bedsheets, recycled fabrics, and pillowcases for the base material of the outfit. Beads, old jewelry wire, string, plastic gems for small decimation, and the tiara. Soft recycled plastics for the DIY flowers on the bellbottoms. A broken umbrella. Spray paint.
