SS23 – Metamorphosis

The SS23 collection continues playing with the idea of metamorphosis and letting go of fixed ideas of clothing. Made completely from surplus and left over pieces, AVENIR pieces can be transformed on the body to present a whole new garment: Jackets that can be worn on both sides and with their attachments form a skirt.

AVENIR stays true to its playful identity using the joyful colours and patterns that upcycling provides, while weaving in dramatic and elegant moments especially in the dresses - shaping the silhouettes with cutouts and various straps to the wearers liking. The long loved staple ‘Sophie Pants’ is re-introduced with a cotton twill in three colour-ways. Circularity is at the collections core even in the more elaborate pieces, giving that the oversized trousers made from old shirts are very adjustable, making them a match for all sizes. Even if today`s outlook on fashion waste might be alarming, AVENIR seizes the attention and momentum of an alert crowd for their mission and interprets Upcycling’s restrictions into positives, allowing the original waste to inspire and influence us.
