Sophia Zeller – Eleanor

A dress designed to be worn long after the wedding day, offering a solution to wear and re-wear your memories, in a sustainable way. Eleanor is the result of research on textile waste in the wedding dress industry. Simply moving the skirt along the garments' buttons transforms it so it can effortlessly be used for various events during the ceremony. By dying and changing its color post-wedding, Eleanor unveils the myrtle flower pattern printed on the fabric, ready to be worn without a bridal appearance. No longer confined to closets and attics, this dress embodies sustainability by reducing textile waste. Crafted from 100% deadstock silk and designed as a mono-material garment, it follows a zero-waste pattern criteria.
