| Junya Watanabe 2019 |
@blair.villanueva I used 4 old denim jeans that I inherited from my stepchildren! Hope Junya Watanabe will be proud 🥰 #ootd #fitcheck #australianfashion #upcycledfashion #sustainablefashion #upcycling #denimskirt #denimyourway #melbournefashion #winterfashion #sewingtiktok #jeans #junyawatanabe ♬ love maybe nightcore - kpop speed up songs
I used four
denim jeans (and there’s more in my stash, OMG!), and although it wasn’t the
exact recreation of Junya Watanabe’s design, I prefer keeping the original cut
of the jeans making it look eccentric yet with an interesting story. This huge
petticoat adds more drama to the skirt.
The trick of sewing the denim together is to use the right sewing needle, and I was relieved to find some stocks from Spotlight.
This white souvenir shirt is something I bought during our trip to Pagsanjan Philippines and paired with my crochet beaded handbag.
More upcycled denim fashion here, and here.
Did you know that Australians buy more clothing than the rest of the country?
Based on the data report gathered by the Australian Fashion Council revealed that Australians buy on average 56 items of clothing a year and manufacture & import over 1.4 billion units of new clothing every year mostly made from non-sustainable, non-durable materials. 200,000 tonnes of clothing goes to landfills each year & we have no systematic resources to collect unwearable clothing.
It is mind-blowing to know how much textile waste Australia consumes every year.
This is why I chose to upcycle our household’s old clothes and textiles and wear them more often. I may not be able to save the Earth, but small actions that begin at home truly count!
