the girl dances
Rather than the fashion trend that I hope to go out of style, the trend I hope to see grow is repurposing something old into something new. With the growing reality of textile pollution from the childhood insecurity of not really having many options of clothes--always outgrowing clothes but never having any to grow into, I definitely had to get creative. I would wear in 9th grade the same black tank top, sweater wrap, and jeans nearly every day. Each day was defined by a different braid in my hair and one of the 99 cent scarves from the thrift store display. Hopefully leaving behind the scratchy feeling of plastics looming in your clothing--repurposing, redesigning, and recycling the garments we already have into something completely novel would be a step forward to the future. I have been shopping at thrift stores for as long as I can remember--it was all my family could afford growing up. Exploring through the aisles of nametags from past lives felt as if I was wandering through a library of books waiting to be opened.
