“There are approximately 10.6 million weddings every year in China. What if just 10% of those brides decided to donate their dresses for up-cycling? This would have a significant impact on the fashion industry’s carbon footprint”. - Chan Meiyan

For her competition collection ‘Leftovers’, Meiyan took inspiration from the wave of feminism that took Western fashion by storm in the early 80s breaking the ground for women to aspire to new roles in society. Reconstructing secondhand wedding dresses from China, where women now embrace self-reliance in all aspects of their lives, she creates a collection of multi-functional and seasonal garments to fit modern lifestyles.
