On Friday last week I went to “Discarded
to Divine”, a recycled fashion exhibit. Local artists from the Bay
gathered together and created an exhibit for everyone- for free! This
event was hosted at the De Young Museum in San Francisco. Every Friday
at the Museum is free admission. I thought it would be a great idea for
me to get some inspiration from fellow stylists who have a passion for
creating things.
I’m lucky SF is only an hour away from
where I live, it’s a quick drive when there are events I want to attend.
On the go dinners are my favorite- nothing fancy but just enough to
fill an empty stomach. Eggs and tuna wraps from Whole Foods and the
yummy donut from Paris Baguette.
There were actually a lot more people than
I was expecting. It was kind of a mush of a club and a craft fair
because there was music blasting from the speakers (even accompanied by a
bar) but the main focus of the event was the handcrafted pieces.
This silk dress had a chain of paper rolls
and beads layered over it. This number caught my eye because instead of
using other clothes to create a new piece, it literally transformed
recycled Vogue paper into fashion.
“Silk Kimono”
“Flannel Jacket”
My favorite out of all the ones I saw that
night- Geometric structures AND lace? The gray-blue silk material
doesn’t hurt either.
Scallops! This would be a great diy project if I can find a nice blazer or jacket of the sort.
I thought this was absolutely genius,
using denim waistbands as layered ruffles. Her entire collection is
centered around using denim.
Goodnight, San Francisco

P.S Anticipate MY own recycled fashion piece, coming very soon!
