These one-of-a-kind trousers have 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. They are constructed from three trousers which have been taken apart and reimagined with a panelled construction and a detached waistband.

“The original trousers were fastened at the side seam, and I wanted to transform that detail into something more sculptural,” says Bethany. “I draped the shape directly on the stand, creating an asymmetric and slightly awkward silhouette. There are multiple button fastenings and a space between the waistband and fastening, as well as multiple belt loops so that several belts can be worn as part of the garment. I wanted the piece to feel structured and tailored but also slightly displaced, with raw edges adding to the haunting quality. The construction was developed with Alex from Making for Change. This is one of my favourite pieces in the collection because it really captures the feeling I wanted the collection to have - familiar, but slightly changed.”

This style is part of TOAST Renewed By, our limited-edition collaboration series, which sees garments transformed by guest artists through traditional textile handcrafts, honouring both their past and their potential future.
