A weird photoshoot…

 

What do you do with a plethora of upcycled clothes? Photoshoot! 

So many items to talk about in these images… There’s the two dresses; dyed, painted, printed, tailored to fit myself correctly. You have the jeans; bleached, printed and patchworked. Then there’s the fun printed canvas corsets (made of recycled unstretched canvas I had at home). I also hand made some tote bags and dyed and printed on them, made of the same canvas. 

To answer your burning question, yes they are all me. Photoshop was our friend here.

What happens when you wash bleached cotton…

This was such a fun project! I had an old hoodie I was, to say the least, bored of, so this is what I did with it! We have an old washing machine at home and after the second bleach, it ripped the jumper up. I was initially disappointed but decided to make the most of it with the black denim detailing.  The jumper has since been worn, to death, the bleach compromised the structural integrity of the jumper and it is now ripped to pieces. I’m excited to recycle the upcycle into something even more exciting and new!

The Nudie way…

  Nudie Jeans. They’re expensive, there’s no denying it, but their philosophies are moving toward the future of fashion.  Nudie as a brand are deeply concerned with sustainability, and have implemented a number of practises that promote sustainable and recycled fashion.  The first reason to consider Nudie for your next pair of jeans: They give their customers the option for free repairs on their jeans, lengthening the life of their clothing. They also have a buy back scheme that allows you to sell your jeans back to Nudie, who in turn give you a discount on a new pair of jeans. Yes you heard that right, give them your worn out, old jeans and your new pair is cheaper! Nudie Jeans also collaborated with the Australian wool company Waverley Mills in 2020. Nudie donated a collection of second hand jeans they weren’t able to resell and Waverley recycled these jeans into blankets. Waverley took the jeans, ragged the denim into a pulp and combined it with their wool through a carding process.
