This one-of-a-kind striped skirt has been created by London-based fashion designer and artist Bethany Williams for TOAST Renewed, using items from past TOAST collections that have been either damaged or returned to our warehouse. It features multiple draped layers for a sculptural impression. The top layer is adjustable and constructed from deconstructed striped shirts, with the stripes moving in different directions. It is accompanied by a separate net underlayer.

“I wanted to create an historical, almost antique feeling but reinterpret it in a contemporary way,” says Bethany. “The inspiration comes from family photographs of my great-grandmother, alongside archival imagery from my research into Manx heritage. I have been interested in taking these historical shapes and allowing them to become something new. I draped the shape on the stand and Alex constructed it, before I hand stitched elements into place. Underneath is a separate skirt made from netting brought through the TOAST Circle Programme, creating another layer beneath the striped skirt. I wanted this old feeling but in a modern way, with the two pieces designed to be worn together.”

Cotton Care Guide

Cotton is a versatile, comfortable and breathable fabric and is easy to look after. At TOAST, we love cotton for its ability to take dye and retain bright colours and intricate prints.

Obtained from the fibres surrounding the soft seed pods of the cotton plant, cotton is a natural and biodegradable fibre that has been used since antiquity. The fibres are cleaned and spun into threads before being made into a variety of fabrics, from denim and corduroy to poplin and twills.

How to wash

Cotton can be washed at 30 degrees in the machine with similar colours. Try to wash your cotton less frequently to maintain the shape, colour, and quality of your garment.

How to dry & store

Reshape your garment whilst damp by holding the side seams together and shaking. Cotton is best dried flat or hanging to prevent the need for ironing. If an item requires ironing, then it is best to do so whilst slightly damp or using the steam setting.

Hang your cotton clothes away from direct sunlight to prevent fading.
