Designer fashion brands like Gucci are known to have luxurious, expensive, and beautifully made clothing, that can become wasteful once they are burned and disposed of. To explore how designer companies can act in sustainable ways, I made a Gucci jacket using only Goodwill thrift store clothing. I wanted to experiment with the look of translating high fashion with the cheapest and out-dated fashion in the form of thrift store materials.
In this look, I recreated this Gucci Jacket with Goodwill clothes and hand painted the pattern using dyes.
