Clothing Conversations
Patricia Nahorniac
## “This is a clothing system that turns waste into a resource.”
The overproduction of clothing is severely impacting the environment, with most unwanted items ending up in landfills. Patricia Nahorniac offers a sustainable alternative through ‘Clothing Conversations’, using discarded clothing as a resource. She refashions new styles from old clothes that are cut up along their seams. With her modular patterns, a pair of trousers can become a T-shirt, or a suit can become a new dress. The variations are limitless. If there is not enough fabric from one garment, you can simply add material from other garments. Each piece of clothing becomes entirely unique – and is one less item on the scrap heap.
