Fiber and textiles made from plants!! 🥳👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

The future of fashion is made from plants, mycelium, bacterial cellulose and recycled materials. In the future of fashion, we will have moved beyond the need to extra fossil fuels to make materials or to exploit and kill animals for materials. Endorse the total ethics fashion manifesto in our bio to show your support for this fashion future — we use the number of signatories to push for change within the industry. 🤎

Inspired!!! and in LOVE with this designer’s salvaged denim fashion!! 😍😍😍😍

Last one of these with my New York Fashion Week collection! I’ve truly loved every moment that went into creating these pieces—thank you all for your kind words and support 💖 • @artheartsfashion @azfw.official 📸: @reimaginephoto Models: @rociio.vlz @annie_victoriaaa @_madisoncurtis • #fashiondesignstudent #fashionstudent #newyorkfashionweek #nyfw #fashionweek #recycleddenim #upcycleddenim

Playing with AI and mobile photoshop app, it has its limitations. The PS app needs a burn/smudge tool to dial in the lighting perspective. Still cute though, right?? Might have to move to the laptop PS platform to refine these images. 🤔

THREE things you can do with fashion textile waste… ✌🏼

Four…. donate to DENiMViDA!! We turn your fashion waste into beautiful works of functional wearable art!! 🦋

Time for some trash talk! 🗑️🗣️ We’re talking about fashion waste. The massive accumulation of fashion waste in landfills poses significant environmental threats. Clothing, particularly synthetic fabrics, takes decades or even centuries to decompose. During this time, they release harmful chemicals and greenhouse gases, contaminating soil and contributing to air pollution. ‼️ The sheer volume of textile waste also consumes valuable land space, exacerbating the overall waste management crisis. Essentially, landfills become toxic repositories of discarded clothing, creating long-term environmental damage. ⚠️🌏 But what can YOU do about it? Three things! 👇🏻 Firstly, prioritize buying less and choosing quality over quantity, investing in durable, timeless pieces that last. Secondly, recycle your unwanted clothing to give them a new life, preventing them from reaching landfills. Lastly, be more conscious of the materials you purchase, opting for sustainable and biodegradable fabrics, and support brands committed to ethical and environmentally friendly practices. 💚 If our clothes can pile up to create giant landfills, our choices can also add up to make a significant difference for good. ☺️💚🌱

Engineering new sizes! Designs and patterns take time to craft when wanting to make use of every square inch of those worn salvaged jeans. Patients and cuss words are required!! Gotta a long way to go here….

Did you know…. Fast Fashion, aka all your cheep clothing, is made to start falling apart after only 7 washes???

Check out this linked article for real solutions and your call to action!

Fast fashion has become a dominant force in the global clothing industry, providing consumers with cheap, trendy apparel at unprecedented speed. The average person today buys 60% more clothing than in 2000 and 85% of all textiles end up in landfills. The textile industry is responsible for 20% of global industrial water pollution and the fashion industry accounts for approximately 2-8% of global carbon emissions. The solution of the problem lies in conscious consumption and the development of sustainable fashion.

THANK YOU, Sherry, for this huge denim donation!!! I am so grateful for this generous denim haul. I will be using every little bit of these discarded and worn pieces, and promise to reinvent them into beautiful works of art!!

DENiMViDA is on a mission to change the fate of waste textiles! We are a sustainability focused studio handcrafting salvaged waste clothing into worn-hard vintage-vibe fashion ensuring that every item is as unique as the person wearing it. Every scrap is repurposed and tells a story of human impact and rejuvenation. We are consciously choosing the call to shine a light on the issues of global overproduction, overconsumption, toxic chemicals in waterways and landfills, and the mountains of fast-fashion materials this industry creates. We strive to do our part by making the planet a little cleaner and less toxic one salvaged upcycled item at a time.

DONATIONS:
If you are local to me in the St. Louis, Missouri area and wish to donate your worn out, stained, unused clothing or home goods textiles, please do not hesitate to contact me for a pick up. I am always on the hunt for denim, khakis, cargos, corduroy, tweed, linen, or wool pants, suites, or jackets and button down dress shirts. I also am interested in anything hand crocheted or knitted, lace, brocade, true silk or unusual accessory trimmings. Basically, if it looks cool and funky, I’m interested! I am also interested in secondhand yard fabric, sewing thread, or any sewing accessories, such as your grandma’s old sewing goods that no one in the family wants. If I cannot use it, I’ll be sure to pass it on to someone who can. So please reach out to me if you have a donation!
