Ohhh!
My Earth!
APRIL 2023
In celebration of Earth Day 2023, CHILLGA, in collaboration with plain-me and illustrator changchenyu, presents a unique and sustainable experiment in reimagined fashion - The CUBE. Each piece is a One&Only creation, distinctly crafted and inspired by the unconventional source of clothing recycling factories.
Breaking away from mainstream fashion trends, The CUBE draws inspiration from the processes observed in clothing recycling factories. During the development of the USED to+ wear vintage brand, designers witnessed the formation of clothing blocks resembling the waste cube walls from Pixar's animated film "WALL-E." These garments, compressed into cubes, filled the factory, ultimately reduced to the smallest volume for storage.
Through reflection and reassembly, the designers initiated a transformation project, giving new meaning to the cube symbol. Integrating plain-me's commitment to sustainability, this initiative utilizes pre-loved items and vintage clothing, shaping them into cubes. The external surfaces of these cubes become canvases for the artistic expressions of changchenyu, who weaves brushstrokes, fabric wrinkles, and the passage of time into an irreplaceable new aesthetic.
