35 LIFE

35 Life is a sustainable fashion project, with upcycled second-hand clothing in an urban outdoor style with highlighted colour design elements always to look ‘new’. Products can quickly transform into a pretty bag for daily carry and home storage.

The concept comes from the traditional Chinese cultural trigram ‘Fire Feng Ding’, which means ‘change the old to the new’. For groups that cannot expose skin to the sun for long periods, designs are more functional with the changes in urban living scenarios. 35 Life brings a relaxed, pleasant visual and wearing experience to the highly stressed urban population.
