Faustine Steinmetz II

Faustine Steinmetz has developed or deconstructed her denim further than before. Initially it was shredded to a kind of felt or tufted rug but two years on SS2015 and it is down to a wonderful spiders web of indigo thread.

“ All the yarns are made from recycled denim, we unravelled the old denim and used traditional pleating and hand stitching techniques.” Faustine Steinmetz

She then completed her Masters in fashion at Central Saint Martins in 2012.
