Publisher's Description
The fashion label Junky Styling grew out the authors’ passion for transforming secondhand clothing into innovative fashion statements that showcase the wearer’s individual style and flair. In this book, Annika Sanders and Kerry Seager record the origins of the company, from the clothes being worn by the authors in London clubs in the nineties to a small retail shop to a successful fashion label. This beautifully illustrated book also shows readers how they can perform “wardrobe surgery” by deconstructing, recutting, and completely transforming their discarded clothes and fabrics into inspired designs.
Whether you are a fashion student, home sewer, entrepreneur, environmentalist, or serious fashionista, Junky Styling is both a practical resource and a thought-provoking inspiration that will guide you through a completely new way of looking at the relationship between clothes, resources, and style.
