We produce, consume and dispose of at an ever-increasing rate. Inspired by a possible post-plastic world, the collection "Why are we so rude?" looks for alternative approaches to dealing with precious resources. In a future where we enter into a symbiotic relationship with our environment, colorful garments tell the story of a different society.
