I am obsessed with creating a recycled couture collection of my own. Just for me to wear. My sickness began about a year ago while I was researching what kind of clothing line to do for Revolution Malibu ( still in progress - slowly moving forward ). Many of you have seen my skull t's and my vintage rock n roll t's. They were inspired by the pics above that I found while researching the pioneers of recycled couture "Project Alabama " ( the original company started by Natalie Chanin - not the company that exists today ). You must read this article , as it is not only creatively inspiring, but business wise too. The details on how this company began are amazing, and how fashion forward Natalie was to incorporate recycling t-shirts into couture back in '02 is mind boggling to me. Even more shocking is that Barney's retailed these t-shirts for $400 a piece! Truly, they were works of art and definitely worth it, more so I am just marveled at the brilliance of it all. Pardon me, while I wipe the drool from my face :)
