FROM BANANA STEM TO SKIN

Category: Apparel

Competitions: Fashion Competition 2026

From Stem to Skin is a contemporary fashion look made primarily from banana bioleather and banana stem rope. The design transforms agricultural waste into a durable and elegant garment that celebrates craftsmanship, repairability and circular design. Inspired by the natural strength of banana fibres, the collection combines structured tailoring with hand-crafted textile details to demonstrate how natural materials can become a desirable alternative to synthetic fashion.
