Have Wardrobe, Will Travel
In these budget-crunching troubled times, smart girls know that there’s a brave new world to be found within tired old wardrobes, if you just know how to get there. One such smart girl is fashion designer and Raw Vintage boutique owner, Lisa Carr. Armed only with her trusty Singer and a boatload of vision, Lisa has spent the last three years taking outdated, ill fitting, and uninspired garments to more fashionable places. Welcome to the up-cycling revolution: not re-using so much as upgrading, here’s how to settle your economic and ecological conscience by using what you’ve got, rather than staying on the ‘buy more’ treadmill. We asked Lisa to work her magic on a couple of outdated vintage items, taking us on a journey from fashion don’ts to two thumbs up. For those creative types amongst you, the following may inspire you to take your own wardrobe on a style trip; but for those less familiar with a needle and thread, nip in to Raw Vintage quick enough, and you might just be the one to snag these very garments off the rail. All aboard, doors to manual – let’s get going on our fashion jaunt. Read more »| 07 Jan 2009 -
