BLACK TAP TAP DRESS - SCALO

This piece is inspired by the project “Limpio mi país”, based in Santa Rosa, Guatemala. A project that has been able to eliminate many clandestine landfill sites. By selling plastic bottle caps found on beaches and mangroves, this project has been able to purchase school desks for schools in the areas. This dress represents the problem and damage consumerism causes to the environment.

Materials: Plastic bottles caps collected by “Limpio Mi País”, an organization that collects trash from Guatemalan mangroves and seashores. Net fabric.
