NOTHING BUT THE BASICS: SPORTSWEAR

Nothing but the basics was a collection that focuses on clothing that is sustainable, zero-waste, and made to last. In challenging the current fashion climate by adding unique zero-waste techniques and upcycling in an effort to utilize all parts of the garment without adding new fabrics into the market. These zero-waste methods include a modern lacemaking technique that uses cut threads and waste scraps to create a new textile. I also upcycled the fabric tags within the upcycled garments. In perfecting a quilting technique, we create a one-of-a-kind textile out of a commonly forgotten part of the garment.
