Inside the construction of the look.
Over 100 hours, 70 Sephora shopping bags, thousands of hand cut fringes, and a full runway look built entirely from paper.
Highlighting the sketching, draping, pattern drafting, construction, and textile manipulation process behind the garment from start to finish.
Every strip was strategically cut, folded, fringed, and sewn individually to create movement, structure, and durability from an unconventional material.

SEPHORA CANADA featuring CHARLES LU
I turned the ICONIC STRIPED Sephora shopping bags into an ICONIC STRIPED fashion runway look!
Deconstructed paper, cut into horizontal panels and hand-fringed to create movement, texture, and structure. A cropped hoodie, corset bralette, and sculpted skirt all built from the unconventional.
Fashion is ART. Sketch, drape, and final form. This takes the everyday and makes it runway.
I started designing at 11 with unconventional materials and now I'm back and even more evolved. Younger me would have died for this collaboration.
