D2D Sneak Preview

RECYCLED FASHIONS.
RENEWED LIVES.
Donated clothes transformed into one-of-a-kind fashion and home décor, auctioned to benefit those suffering from poverty, homelessness and domestic violence. The St. Vincent De Paul Society started a yearly design event where designers from the bay area transform donated clothing into a new garment that will be auctioned off at their yearly event and all proceeds go to helping people suffering from poverty, homelessness, and domestic violence. I was so excited to be a part of this amazing event.

The De Young Museum sponsors the event and hosts a preview for the public to come and see all the pieces for free with music and other entertainment.

It was such a blast!

This is my dress I designed for the event. I deconstructed a pant suit and silk jacquard jacket to make my dress. I also used some beads from another blouse I got from goodwill for the bead work I did on the neckline.

My friend Lauren from school came with me and Brady to the event. We had so much fun looking at all the great garments.
