In the fifth and final of our guest maker series, we sent designer Christopher Reid a mystery pack of discarded fabrics and garments and asked them to take on our upcycling challenge.
In this short interview, ReMode’s guest blogger Thomas Dixon asks Christopher about their design ideas behind the garments created, sourcing fabrics and approaches to sustainability.
“Getting any sort of fabrics donated is such as buzz … .I love working with old curtains – they’re going to get a second life which is really exciting.
I like to draw and add an extra element to the fabric…I blew up some of the pictures from the Berwick witch trials – a wood carving – and added them. I love the idea of designing something that is going to be kept .. it’s not a throw away thing.”
