DIY, Art, and Textile Resistance: Nicasio Torres x Makeo.Top
by Adriano Batista
In 2025, as fast fashion continues to dominate, some still choose a different path—one of DIY, repurposing, and slow creation. In a workshop in Sabadell, illustrator Nicasio Torres and Makeo.Top, a secondhand clothing project led by Eme Rock, began a collaboration that turns discarded clothes into wearable art. Photographer Gabriela Haapalainen captured the process.
Makeo.Top operates on a strict system: each garment is handpicked within a 15-kilometer radius, avoiding international shipping and inflated “vintage” markups. Their space, a former textile factory in Sabadell, reflects their mission—giving new life to clothes in a place where industry once thrived. The goal is clear: fight overconsumption and support local reuse.
Nicasio Torres, known for his surreal illustrations and past fashion collaborations (including work with Krizia Robustella and Showstudio), brings his hand-painted style to the project. Using spray paint and freehand drawing, he covered secondhand pieces with his signature ambiguous figures, distorted body shapes, and playful animal motifs. The process was loose, improvised, and driven by experimentation rather than strict planning.
The resulting collection, “Supernature”—named after Cerrone’s 1977 disco hit—will debut on April 13th at the Intimo Festival in Barcelona’s Poblenou neighborhood. It’s a small but meaningful push against disposable fashion, proving that reinvention, not constant buying, can keep clothing exciting.
