Turkish designer Sumeyya Donmez transforms upcycled tights, salt (NaCl), and water into garments that appear delicately coated in frost. Her experimental design philosophy seamlessly merges fashion, science, and sustainability, elevating clothing into wearable art that challenges conventional boundaries of material and technique.
In her collection 'The Second Skin S02,' Donmez explores the aging process through crystallization, draping, and wrinkling techniques that metaphorically represent the transformation of human skin over time. The irregular salt crystals growing over translucent base fabrics create a poetic visual narrative of nature's temporality and bodily change. Each dress is born through chemical reaction, making every piece unique as the crystal formation and distribution vary even within identical designs.
Donmez's work breathes new life into discarded materials while offering an innovative solution to the fashion industry's environmental challenges. Her designs encapsulate contradictory concepts—fragility and resilience, ephemerality and beauty—within a single garment, presenting a compelling vision of a future where fashion and nature coexist in harmonious balance. This groundbreaking approach positions her as a leading voice among emerging designers reimagining sustainable fashion's possibilities.
