2024-05

This photo/styling series explores how we engage with familiar objects when recontextualized through fashion.The tension between practicality and novelty is in constant flux, workwear brands like Carhartt have become commodities, detached from their original blue-collar function. This concept takes an inverted approach: instead of stripping utility from functional garments, it transforms inherently functional objects into fashion accessories. By redefining what we carry, Convertible clutch examines how meaning is assigned—and reassigned to everyday items.
