KASSIM



SEASON 1 (2019)

This collection was born out of my interest in natural dyeing and indigienous hand weaving methods, as well as my disillusion with fast fashion, waste and hyper consumerism. I spent the majority of 2019 in Indonesia, exploring this subject and coming to an understanding of all the possiblities that exist when care, function, and consideration for our impact on the planet are aligned. 

Items from the collection were concepted, designed, and produced with help from the Indigo Store in Hanoi, Vietnam over a period of 3 weeks in the spring of 2019.

All fabrics were hand-sourced, and originated in South East Asia, specifically these regions:

  • Thailand
  • Indonesia
  • Vietnam


I designed the branding, packaging and website for the project, as well as photography for the lookbook
