“The BLEACHED Collection” is inspired by “White on White”, an art painted by Russian artist in 1918. The colors used in the collection are white and different shades of white. Color white used in the collection has nothing link to purity or innocence but more cruelty and guilt from industrialization and global warming. It is from the melting icebergs (3D printed outsole) , bleaching coral reefs (upper shape) and the dying polar bears (recycled eco-fur).
