While Alexander used 1000 paper rolls from several magazines for his design, Raili enthralled through the processing of recycled materials like old socks and curtains. The third design “Deconstruction and Reconstruction” by Claudya Xena consists of old, white T-Shirts that were processed into a dress through macramé.
