Retread Threads


An interesting snippet from the Age Sunday Life mag...

"Rather than spend a fortune on new gard, thrifty fashion obsessives now "remix" pieces and customise op-shop fashion finds and post photos on the web. One Flickr group is devoted to the sport. It started in September 2005 and now has more than 6000 members. The best stylists walk the streets- not the photoshoot or runway backstages, explains Tricia Royal, the group's creator- The real innovators are you and me.

Remixing has its rules: originality is key, as is not reproducing a look from a fashion shoot. Lingerie and nudity are no-nos; in fact, the remixers who draw the most praise seem to pile on as many clothes as possible." (Kirsty Munro)
...with almost 30,000 outfits posted there is heaps to keep anyone inspired towards individuality.
