Hello The Way We Wore Fans,
In this upload Doris talks about sustainability, a topic that has been prevalent in Fashion and with brands as the industry moves towards greener solutions in manufacturing and selling clothes. Doris features garments that were either upcycled or repurposed. She amassed a great collection of unique items, a bicycle tire dress as well as upcycled Libertine pieces.

Doris: "it's winter in Los Angeles, so it's really cold" Me, a Canadian: "... Must be tough"

@helenmathieu7808 4 года назад

LoL we Canadians know all about being cold !

@ah5721 4 года назад

I've lived through winters of -20F so when she said it was cold in LA I thought she must be sarcastic!

@NeighborofKT 4 года назад

I think LA people think it is cold there because they don’t have furnaces. When it gets down to 50 degrees, their homes feel chilly.

@ah5721 4 года назад

@@NeighborofKT 50 isn't chilly put on a sweater and slippers and come back time when it's 40f and below. Right now it's 4f

@NeighborofKT 4 года назад

Amanda H I agree with you. I live in WI...it was -21 F yesterday morning. My point is that without a furnace or storm windows, a California house will seem chilly to people who are used to hot weather. You and I know what cold really is, lol.

@lucinda2329 4 года назад

Thank you! Great reminder to make us of things rather than add them to the landfill! The Japanese re-purposing idea has a strong link to southern US patchwork and quilting.

@anjaprachtstueckwerk7546 4 года назад

Thank-you so much for the inspiration! In my work room I have a 60ies dress to alter to my body, a 50ies style hat I´m making from a 90ies hat and a 80ies handbag to be painted into something very me... I am prone to always think the results of my work are inferior to buy the real thing from a shop. Your video really gives me a push of confidence!

@donnamaciver2093 4 года назад

This is my greatest passion In life I have been wearing vintage and cutting up clothing and textiles for clothing since I was a teenager I have a great skirt made from an old table cloth I love doing bead work and I once made a belt out of an old tin and I loved that belt thank you for this one loved it

@susangavaghan 3 года назад

For the last 9 years I have bought all my clothes and household items from charity shops. I have always been able to find what I need. Shopping without guilt and without harming the planet, with the money going to a good cause instead of multi nationals.

@slave4glue 4 года назад

The Boro textile is really cool, looks a bit like a Bauhaus woven textile. There's an interesting pottery repairing technique from Japan called "Kintsugi" or "Kintsukuroi" where a broken pot is repaired with a type of golden lacquer to highlight the crack and make the break a thing of beauty. Kind of similar philosophy to the Boro textile, repair, reuse, imbued with character.

Great episode! I remember you told me 5 years ago how repurposing and upcycling will be fashion's next major move. So right!! 😊

@ZoraTheberge 4 года назад

I love this. I worked at a theme park hemming employee uniform pants and kept the scraps. I turned them into a boro inspired jacket that I absolutely adore. I will wear it for years and mend it over time. As a fashion designer, I love creating labor-intensive surface design. Boro ideology is absolutely apart of that. Thank you again Doris for being wonderful.

@TheDressUpMom 4 года назад

This is my favorite thing to do. I love repurposing and upcyling. So many great things out there to reuse. I must say that I do love wearing kimonos just as they are but the jackets were also cute. Can’t wait to come visit your store next time I’m in LA.

@biancanatal1097 3 года назад

Thanks for showing us all of the handstiching on the underside of that garment-a beautiful sight to behold!

@MinnesotaNorth101 4 года назад

@karenokeane6461 4 года назад

"The INTEGRITY of a garment." Those words struck me deeply.

@margoriazantseva4471 2 года назад

Call it cultural appropriation but i would praise any fashion brand in the world for doing boros of their scraps to approach zero waist production as close as possible. Thank you for showing us your treasures Doris. I actually like this one-colour handbag of fliptops even more than the multicoloured one. So minimal and...chic! Seriously!

@SFAG12 4 года назад

I hope that kimono sells quickly because hearing the possibility of it getting the chop made me clutch my invisible pearls!! Hope you can do commentary on the recent jpg retiring and the effects of this on the items that Doris has, I was sad of the news but I think his brand will have a upmonitization renasainse because of this. Just his archive must have increased some millions since yesterday. Great video as always guys.

@marthaross6301 2 года назад

I was reading your comment at the exact moment, the Kimono 👘 cut apart came up in the video: I actually did reach for my pearls~ with an audible intake of breath🙊 Glad to hear that she’s giving it a few years yet~ intact. Maybe it will have found a home. One hopes. If not, sadly- as an avid mending/up cycling/repurpose advocate…. I get it. It’s beautiful, not historical. With hopefully, many years of use left. Before the silk shatters, and is rendered unwearable/unusable

@a.sobriquet6220 4 года назад

Absolutely wonderful, inspiring video! As an embroiderer, though, I would like to affectionately say that those of us with ADD make the best embellishers because we can “hyperfocus” for hours and hours. For us, embellishing work is calming and soothing.

@nenee009 2 года назад

I really wanna start some crafts like crochet and sewing and I was recently diagnosed with adhd. I've found that the biggest challenge is actually starting something though. Do you also have that problem?

@ladylouise1969 4 года назад

WOW!! Gorgeous items, as always! Everything is so beautiful..beyond words. That jacket your friend embellished was just so, so, lovely!! Beautiful workmanship. Thank you for the links-I did know about Stella and Patagonia-but not the others. Thank you for that!! Sewing is something I enjoy doing-but taking things apart to remake-I'm afraid I don't enjoy (arthritis)...it would be nice it there were shops that sold items "deconstructed", and you could pick out the bits you needed for your next project!! That would be a wonderful way to reuse fabrics! Have a great week, and thank you for your time.

Lilli Ann and Valentino in the same sentence will get me every time. I bought a couple Lilli Ann suits with my grocery money when I was on tour as an actress back in 1976. I ate peanut butter and jelly every day to get them . I have never regretted that choice. I must have heard you wrong. 65th birthday? whoa. thank you for that. I am turning 63 this summer and honestly I am so excited. I have never felt better. The pandemic has ended may career as a massage therapist and I am going back to what I love. Vintage clothing.

Thank you Doris, as always very interesting, inspiring and informative. For years I have bought 'vintage' or what used to be call 'second hand'. I may now try up cycling some of my more 'tired' clothes. I have explored the 'Boro ' technique on my jeans, enjoying the process and the results one can achieve and it's actually not very hard to do, basically running stitch and a bit of imagination. The thought of ones clothes out living us, to be worn by future generations to come is maybe something we should all at least consider when making a purchase. Thanks again for a super video.

@blagovestaivanova8173 3 года назад

Hi, I was a part of a project in Denmark. We were upcycling and repurposing. It was the most fun in my life. We were running workshops and teaching people how to do it themselves. I felt like I repurpose my life. The name of the project is Materiale Centralen they have a Facebook and Instagram page, you can chack them. Now I am searching for a job but the only thing I have in mind is how to continue upcycle and repurpose. Thank you for showing me that there is a hope 💚

@thewaywewore7371 3 года назад

That 50s coat is amazing. I want one! Here was I thinking I was older than you until you mentioned your 65th...obviously I am not the only one wearing well! (I will be 64 on my next birthday) Seeing you makes me think that I have a lot of good years in me yet!

Back in the 70s at my college in Hammond, Louisiana, the hippies would put together patches of fabrics with denim and create lovely textiles. They worked with elderly quilters to create beautiful shirts and jackets.
