In Frankreich gibt es einen Bonus zwischen 6-25 € fürs Reparierenlassen kaputter Kleidung.
Finanziert wird der Reparaturbonus aus einem Fond, in den Textilhersteller einzahlen, „angespornt“ durch das 2020 in Frankreich verabschiedete Antiverschwendungsgesetz, das die Hersteller zu nachhaltiger Produktion verpflichtet.
the original tee with a sol lewitt art print on it. its neckline had loosened, warped and was crying out for some care.
to neaten the neckline, i folded it in half towards the inside and stitched it down with a sewing machine. also shortened the sleeves to make it feel fresher.
then just for fun added some colour with posca markers, first time trying it out on fabric! 🙃🌈
I own it since 2013 (when 3.1 Phillip Lim x Target collection was released.)
I LOVE the cut. Haven’t seen anything else that fit me this great, especially around the shoulders.
I’m skilled enough to make the alterations I want.
For now, I’m marking the changes and pinning the added pieces with temporary fabrics.
No way I’m letting this one go to landfill; it’s going to be fantastic!
