I know quite a few eco designers who build dresses out of old couture gowns. They disassemble, 'upcycle,' and reuse them in extraordinary ways. To me, that's a sustainable way of doing things.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
There are so many cute vintage dresses made out of synthetics from the '60s and '70s - but they're so itchy and hot. It's not worth it!
Fashion to me has become very disposable; I wanted to get back to craft, to clothes that could last.
It's like recycling: selling old clothes to help make new ones.
Originally a stylist took terrible dresses and did everything she could to make them wonderful. Now, you create an image. It's much more specialized.
The novelty of corsets and dresses and hats very soon wears off.
I think, with suits and clothes, if you keep them long enough, they all come back in fashion.
I have a collection of impractical vintage dresses and jackets. I guess I never grew out of the 'playing dress up' faze. It's actually a bit of a problem.
During holiday parties I end up recycling a lot of my cocktail dresses and just wearing a layering piece, like a blazer and tights, with it.
In fashion, the time is so short, and even with pre-collection, there are not only dresses, shoes, bags, and furs but now raincoats and T-shirts. It's just an endless amount of work that we have to produce in no time.
I come from a different era and I design clothes for our era. I think of people I want to dress when I design.
