This is a dress made out of cardboard and previously-used coffee sleeves from the Corp. It was made for Georgetown's first-ever Trashion show in 2024, hosted by GREEN. It highlights the prevalence of disposables in our lifestyles and encourages people to switch to reusables. I had a lot of fun creating this piece!
