ASYMMETRIC DOUBLE SHIRT DRESS RTS11-1

SECOND-HAND BUTTON-DOWN SHIRTS ARE FLIPPED AND RE-ENGINEERED TO BECOME A DRAPED, ASYMMETRIC DRESS IN BLACK. FEATURES TWO HORIZONTAL BUTTON STANDS THAT CAN BE OPENED OR CLOSED, ALLOWING THE WEARER TO CHANGE THE SILHOUETTE AND REVEAL AS MUCH AS THEY PLEASE.

EACH SHIRT IS INDIVIDUALLY SOURCED AT OWINO MARKET IN KAMPALA. WHILE THE MATERIALS ARE UNIQUE AND NON-IDENTICAL, THE DRAPED SILHOUETTE AND THE DUAL-BUTTONING TECHNIQUE ARE SIGNATURE BUZIGAHILL.

THE BUTTON-DOWN SHIRT IS A GLOBAL STAPLE OF FORMALITY AND STRUCTURE. AT BUZIGAHILL, OUR MODUS OPERANDI IS DISMANTLING SYMBOLS AND STRUCTURES. BY JOINING MULTIPLE SHIRTS HORIZONTALLY AND FLIPPING THEIR ORIENTATION, THE RIGID GEOMETRY OF THE ORIGINAL GARMENTS IS BROKEN DOWN INTO A FLUID, DECONSTRUCTED FORM. THE HORIZONTAL BUTTON STANDS ALLOW THE DRESS TO BE STYLED IN A MULTITUDE OF WAYS, SHIFTING FROM A STRUCTURED, CLOSED FORM TO A MORE OPEN, IMPROVISED LOOK, PERFECT FOR LAYERING.

IT TAKES SEVEN HOURS TO UPCYCLE THIS UNIQUE RETURN TO SENDER DRESS AT OUR STUDIO IN KAMPALA.
