REPURPOSE

In an era of mass production and consumption, we should all realise that we as human beings are either part of the problem or the solution. Especially with the pandemic, all our inner and outer sources said enough and we should take this warning seriously.

I was watching one of my favourite fashion designer and she was telling about her grandparents. She said that her grand dad had just one suit and when it got damaged, grandma turned it inside out and sew again. She also added that when the clothes got smaller, they were collected and sent to other relatives and friends to reuse them.

Today, we all understand that we have to change our systems. We have to be very conscious with the need- product and comsumption chain. We have to reevaluate our expectations. Until today we consider fashion and jewelery from the ‘image’ point of view. Now we have to consider who produces it, where it is produced, how it is produced, why it is produced and can it be recycled, reused …etc.

Consider your jewelery. Until today how many jewelery do you have? I am sure you can’t count. Now lets connect with them again and look at ways to reuse and repurpose them.

Repurpose your old brooches and use them as shoe clips or for the collars or the arms of your shirts or sweaters or your coats..Also take out the clips of your earrings and put magnets at the back to use it as magnets or put pins at their backs to use as brooches. Once you start, I am sure you will find out other ways.

The second way is creating frames with them which is the one I enjoy the most. You can use all your jewelery for that and create a new image out of it.

Hands on everybody…
