Earth Bride is a sustainable fashion project debuting during Dutch Sustainable Fashion Week 2024. The centrepiece is a biodegradable dress, lavishly embroidered with seeds. A marriage of haute couture and eco-friendliness.
Earth Bride embodies a healing ritual, symbolically giving back to the earth what we have taken and allowing it to regenerate in new and surprising ways.
The Earth Bride Project offers you the chance to join us in re-exploring the boundaries of fashion, using sustainability and art as a guide and the beauty of the earth as inspiration. Join this educational journey towards ecological awareness and discover how fashion and environmental stewardship meet in innovative and creative ways.
