“My passion lies in rescuing waste materials that would otherwise be discarded, rethinking how I can use even the most unlikely materials in my collections.”

Redress Design Award Collection

Casbeth’s Redress Design Award collection, ‘Cultural studies’, draws inspiration from South African cultural history and attire. She makes use of traditional beading techniques and neck brass rings from the Ndebele tribe. For embellishments, Casbeth turns to mosaic glass off-cuts and cowry shells, once used as currency and now as jewelry signifying prosperity. Zero-waste one-piece pleated garments are upcycled from unwanted clothes, curtains, and aluminium blinds.
