How to Wear: Household Items
The newest fashion-forward trend? Upcycle. Awards season in Hollywood is a time for Red Carpet fashion. The big stars put themselves on display in fancy couture dresses and the rest of us express our opinions of their choices. The most diversity we can usually expect is who opted for what big name fashion house... there is very little for us to be mesmerized by in the realm of Eco-Fashion. So when Jennifer Lawrence wore a Dior dress that resembled a bed sheet at the 2014 Golden Globes, this surprisingly became an opportunity to discuss DIY (do-it-yourself) fashion. With a little help of selfies and twitter, the Internet became abuzz with people recreating the look in the comfort of their own homes. The linens were literally flying off of beds across the world. As a fashion redesigner who works with pre-existing materials, I knew this was actually a very exciting expression of our ability to rethink what we already own. Before we start wrapping our friends up to look like toilet paper rolls, I've refashioned some household items to show how to do this properly and keep your dignity intact!
