Everything is connected; intertwined in an intricate set of relationships. When something dies, it is given life again in some other form. This is the ethos behind Anna Cahill’s work. She strives to create sustainable design that utilises materials otherwise discarded as waste, and gives them a new life. Whether it is a textile or some other product, her garments are defined by the materials from which they’re grown.

Ways&Means is no exception. Created using entirely reclaimed textiles, it offers a collection that is both wearable and sustainable. With an artisanal approach to the prints and textiles employed, Anna was never quite sure what she was going to end up with. The result is an organic, relaxed, romantic range of garments, free to. be interpreted however the wearer feels.

Brought to life in a short film, the garments never forget their links to the earth, nor their borrowed existence.
