I imagine fashion becoming an extension of our personas and the way we share stories and celebrate life through milestone events and priceless memories. Fashion is the new medium of storytelling connecting us to the people along the way and the planetary experiences we hold so dear to us.
I absolutely love being able to reuse clothes, and see them repurposed in such a beautiful and useable way. It brings me back to my grandmothers and the way they looked at life and products as something lasting - not to be wasted and un-appreciated. It makes my feel wholesome and happy.
I had drawers of memories and over the years have thrown out many. When Shamini told me about the jacket, it was the solution I knew I needed but didn’t know how to fix the need. I love wearing those memories and having the jiggle of events and moments pop up.
I love this idea. Sadly only 2 months before learning of the circular memory jacket we moved homes and I got rid of probably 20 T Shirts that I loved… music shirts mostly. If I had waited I would have had even more relevant shirts to put into this work of art! I love the idea of keeping the legacy of clothes going even when they are too worn out to wear anymore.
I like the ideas behind sustainable fashion and thought this was a unique product. It began to feel wasteful to keep making more and more clothes. I decided about two years ago that I would only buy used orvintage clothes as much as possible. I am always looking for new ways to support sustainable fashion. I am into my style, but I see the need for new ways for the fashion world to work.
