Jody Pearl

There is a major impact on the environment where fashion is concerned. All the waste from clothing being thrown out to purchase new ones, toxic dyes, fabric that uses a lot of water to grow, paper usage for pattern making etc. 

Jody Pearl is a designer that recycles and reuses clothing. Jody believes that clothing needs to meet two criteria’s, adornment and protection. Jody also says if you are to join her class you need to consider these three things: 

1.     You CANNOT make a mistake

2.     You will NEVER look at another piece of clothing the same way again.

3.     Re-inventing is endless and can be EXTREMELY ADDICTIVE

Jody took these three tops and made this:

These are some of the clothing Jody and others have reinvented.

I think this trend has been in the cycle of fashion during the 80’s where people wore layers upon layers of clothing. When the clothes are reinvented they are a number of layers put into it. More and more people are beginning to search for sustainable solutions to the fashion economic problems and I believe more people are going to adopt this reinventing of clothing into their wardrobe in a few years. I personally love this idea of splice skirts and dresses; they give off such an amazing effect. If you need more information go to Jody’s site where I went, www.jodypearl.com
