This exhibition displays ways to construct fashion from domestic waste, deadstock, and upcycling combining Regenerative and Solarpunk practices to the waste from landfill and provide additional resources from the waste to the community and economy, while reducing the energy burden to create the new materials. Materials are also sourced locally to minimise shipping.

The brand aesthetic is Solarpunk x Castlecore. Castlecore is a style informed by the view that late stage capitalism is a return to the dark ages. Visual inspiration comes from Queer Rave and Gaelic culture using design elements from Celtic jewellery, the Ogham Alphabet, and Viking gravestones.
