Runway
DEATH & REBIRTH
Terra2k is a design studio located in Vancouver with a focus on sustainability.
Terra2k uses fashion and product design as a vehicle for uncovering consciousness for sustainability. Terra2k questions what transformations it would take on an individual and collective level to manifest a sustainable world.
Each garment created by Terra2k is made from “up-cycled”, “deadstock”, or saved from waste materials.
Following the theme of giving old garments new life by “up-cycling”, or creating new garments from “deadstock”, Terra2k’s collection Death & Rebirth follows the story of a butterfly undergoing metamorphosis. A symbol for physical and spiritual transformation.
