My pieces are created Functionality, and Versatility through Upcycle technique, and are Seasonless.
This playfulness has its origins in jobs with iconic New York brands Betsey Johnson and Ellen Tracy with many years working in the corporate fashion world.
A little know fact, I was commissioned by Artists to make designs which appeared at the New Museum in NYC, and the MOMA.
What I'm
loving
Is that everyone is starting to get it. Making the most of their wardrobe after years of over consuming fast fashion.
What I'm
learning
It is important to try. The world needs all of us to care. There are new fabrics, inventions, better trade agreements. Awareness to develop a circular economy in fashion.
What I'm
not about
Looking weird is a popular misconception about mended clothing. It is not about wearing odd ball looks, but more about wearing custom original designs.
what I
believe
Clothing purchased once can become true individual style as yet to be seen. Since it fit funny the first time, but the second we make some alterations, it will be unique to you.
I would love to do a scaled Upcycle project with your overstock.
behind the scenes
I didn’t always have this business: the clients, the sales, the millions (many : ) followers...

Through upcycling, a sustainable approach to fashion that benefits both the environment and your wallet.
You can reduce waste by giving your favorite pieces new life.
Upcycling clothing involves adding embellishments, tailoring, cutting, and re-sewing pieces, or dyeing the fabric for a completely new look.
Experience the fun and creativity of upcycle clothing while also making a positive impact on the planet.
It's something I starting doing when my kids were growing out of their clothes. I made skinned knee bags with the jeans knee hole in them.
Mom Dresses out of a variety of Kids clothes.
They were cute, flattering, and everyone had plenty of the little clothes to work with.
