WALKING PIECES

ABOUT

 

 

 

THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE. 

I AM ASLI — THE CREATOR BEHIND WALKING PIECES.

I WORK FROM MY STUDIO IN GERMANY, WHICH IS ALSO MY HOME.

EVERY PIECE PASSES THROUGH MY HANDS — FROM SOURCING AND SKETCHING TO CLEANING, PATTERN-MAKING AND SEWING.

 

WHY UPCYCLING?

THE FASHION INDUSTRY IS ONE OF THE MOST POLLUTING INDUSTRIES IN THE WORLD.

THIS CAN FEEL OVERWHELMING — BUT IT ALSO REMINDS ME THAT CHANGE BEGINS WITH SMALL, INTENTIONAL STEPS.

 

UPCYCLING ALLOWS ME TO TRANSFORM WHAT ALREADY EXISTS.

NO NEW GARMENTS, NO NEW MATERIALS — JUST NEW SHAPES, NEW IDENTITIES.

EVERY PIECE BEGINS WITH SOMETHING THAT ONCE HAD A LIFE, A PURPOSE, A WEARER.

MY ROLE IS TO GIVE IT ANOTHER ONE.

 

BY REUSING AND REWORKING GARMENTS, THE PROCESS TAKES TIME — BUT SO DOES ITS STORY. 

THIS IS MY WAY OF OFFERING AN ALTERNATIVE TO THE NOISE OF FAST FASHION:

SLOW, THOUGHTFUL, AND CONSCIOUS.

 

IT MAY START SMALL, BUT WITH YOUR SUPPORT, IT CAN BECOME CHANGE.
