An encyclopedia of life skills, smart ideas, and great design, Remake It:
Clothes blends inspiration, entertainment, and hands-on advice in equal
measure. It incorporates a wealth of almost-forgotten skills, step-bystep
projects to create new clothes from old, and accessories from
found materials—plus examples from celebrated international designers
—to show what can be created with a “Remake It” philosophy.
There are introductory essays on the history and context of recycling
clothes in the fashion industry, as well as tips on vintage clothing, storage,
and caring for your clothes. Featuring more than 500 illustrations—250
of which have been specially commissioned—the book draws together
global trends, traditional practices, and modern innovations to make a
harmonious, life-enriching guide.
