The Anthropocene
Anthropocene was conceived as a critique of our current epoch; which marks the dominant influence of humans on the planet. Our purpose is to create a provocation and to encourage change by producing luxury products from waste.
The Maverick is a transformable luxury garment, remade using local discarded tents. The name comes from the original waste site, namely the Maverick Field campsite at Boardmasters 2018.
The Maverick is a multi-use garment which transforms into: a Cape, a Napsack and a Tree Tent. It’s functional and sculptural approach throws out the rulebook on traditional fashion practices; highlighting the value of waste resources and how we can use what we have.
Influenced by the cradle to cradle manufacturing model, and the Chang-Pa Tribe's lifestyle of leave no trace.
