In this episode, drawing from the Texas Fashion Collection, Annette Becker introduces us to the concept of designer recycling. Annette shows us examples by American designer Nancy Johnson, who specializes in vintage inspired, romantic women’s clothing; Todd Oldham, an innovative designer who recontextualizes familiar materials into a fashion context that makes us consider them in a new way, and Japanese designer, Hanae Mori, who would upcycle, or repurpose textiles from traditional Kimonos into contemporary designs.
