Hong Kong-based and United Kingdom-educated fashion designer Glori Tsui ingeniously turns end-roll fabrics into a stylish collection inspired by cubism painting and transformable designs.

Through my design for my first sustainable fashion label, Methodology, I hope to achieve sustainability, not only from the materials but also by extending the lifetime of the products. I want the wearer to wear the product more and get the most out of the materials, which explains the transformable functions of the products – there are no designated occasions or styles to suit the products. Think of my products as the Rubik’s Cube, where solutions are aplenty, and every user has his/her own methodology.

The accessories in this collection are named after herbs, which I like to think as things that have extraordinary functions that belie their ordinary looks. For this accessory collection, I have upcycled materials from high-end factory, such as leather trim-offs. The way I went about designing the accessories was by breaking them up in geometrical shapes, and reconstructing them back together to materialise my creations.
