“Waste Not” Event for City Wide at London Fashion Week February 2024 at The Museum of the Home

Anciela created an interactive installation made with textile waste from the studio. The aim is to promote ways of upcycling and inviting the spectator to reflect and actively participate in making the main piece by adding messages using fabric offcuts.
Anciela hosted workshops, videos and conversations about sustainability and upcycling in Fashion, including a panel discussion with Orsola De Castro, author of “Loved Clothes Last” and founder of Fashion Revolution.

# BuyNothing #MakeSomething

Upcycled Fabric Toucan

We’re so excited to present the mini version of the Anciela toucan, made and stuffed with AW19 fabric remnants. As part of the #StayHome series “buy nothing make something” we want to encourage you to create something new. You don’t need to buy fabric, upcycle something, give a second life to that item of clothing you don’t wear anymore.
