At the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, over 200 million tons of additional waste were generated worldwide. Masks, protective equipment, discarded signage and synthetic packaging, discarded at an unprecedented rate.

200 Million responds to this ecological aftermath by transforming these materials into garments that challenge both aesthetic conventions and systems of consumption.

Rejecting perfection in favor of intention, the collection embraces a D.I.Y. sensibility and simplified construction methods to make sustainability approachable and immediate. A pair of trousers assembled entirely from surgical masks turns ephemeral protection into structured form, while a long coat repurposes a PVC banner once used to advertise a testing center, now worn as a bold, politicized shell.

200 Million does not aim to elevate waste into luxury, but rather to reframe it as a site of reflection. Each piece serves as a visual reminder that environmental responsibility begins with awareness, and that design, even in its rawest state, holds the power to question, reimagine, and rebuild.
