Benjamin Benmoyal, “It Was Better Tomorrow”,
All of the clothes are made of discarded video and cassette tapes.
The colorful and highly textured garments were hand-woven by Benmoyal; he used a combination of recycled yarn, the metallic grey tape that slithers through the spokes of VHS tapes, and Tencel (a wood-pulp-based fiber) to create the collection.
The designer’s garments not only depend on recycled tapes but also on the historic tradition of weaving on a loom, making his clothes a uniquely wearable timeline of creations old and new.
