Held in the centre of Brooklyn’s creative scene, the event
highlighted both new and seasoned designers who stretched the boundaries between fashion, sculpture, and performance.
Standout collections of presented clothing as rich in colour, texture, and meaning, canvases. Wearable tech, live-moss and hand-painted fabrics, and avant-garde shapes challenged conventional design.
From couture pieces fit for a museum to the electric energy of street-style influences, the show was a dynamic celebration of imagination and uniqueness. Fashion Week Brooklyn demonstrated once more how art walks, moves, and speaks rather than merely hangs on walls. With activist designers setting the stage, clothing is both an art form and a statement about the issues that matter most. Fashion is not just about what you wear but also about what you stand for.
On the runway, The Glide Goddess, a visionary designer and performance artist, showcased a colour paint spatter 5” Tall Nefertiti Kufi Crown and live-moss gown made of biodegradable and regenerative materials like plant-based textiles and recycled fibres. Earthlings is a brand and movement promoting an inclusive, environmentally friendly future.
Manifest by Catterspace is turning newspaper into wearable fashion from headlines into hemlines.
Fashion is undergoing a revolution in a time when sustainability and creativity coexist peacefully. Newspaper is one unanticipated item headed from the recycling container towards the runway. Newspapers, lightweight, easily accessible, environmentally friendly, provide a special platform for experimental fashion; creating clothing from newsprint is more than just art; it’s a strong statement about waste, awareness, and innovation.
Why the Newspaper?
Newspapers are plentiful, flexible, and biodegradable. Turning it into fashion not
only helps to cut waste but also produces
provocative designs challenging established textile standards.
Often blurring the line between clothes and wearable art, repurposing newspapers into clothing is popular in eco-fashion circles, student exhibits and even high-concept runway shows.
