Currency Reborn: Threads of a Greater Culture
An avant-garde fashion concept that draws inspiration from the history of obsolete and forgotten currencies, like the Italian lira or Slovenian tolar. An attempt to restore the intrinsic value of these withdrawn currencies, highlighting their historical significance in fostering unity between Slovenia and Italy. They become wearable art that taps into the rich cultural history of the two countries, showcasing the details found on the Italian lira coins and the modern design elements of the Slovenian tolar. This new fusion currency celebrates the story of two nations united culturally, economically, and historically. A testament to the power of open borders that play a part in cultivating a more enriched and expansive global social climate.
