What happens when you drop your clothes off for donation? Maybe they stay in a thrift shop for about a week before they are sent to a larger processing center to be bundled and shipped across the world. Imagine your old favorite pants are sent to another country, where it’s part of a tightly-packed bin of used clothes that are sold on a second market. After a week hanging from a metal-roofed market kiosk, the clothing that does not find a home is somehow disposed of – in a makeshift rural dump or deep in the sea. Anywhere that we can’t see it – anywhere that we don’t have to take account for how much is piling up. Because we don’t see the full problem, we can’t address it at scale. We consider the cost of fast fashion disposability, but we rarely take issue with the plethora of T-shirts that inundate our lives. It was initially an ironic statement that became an idea. I started to experiment with ways to play with transforming the T-Shirt shape, with the aim of prioritizing comfortability, but still play with altering the T-Shirt aesthetic. Different colors and sizes are matched together; some of the styles have open shoulder or underarm sleeves; two different fronts or two different backs combine to create distinct necklines. Countering the idea of the mass commerce production, Collage T’s have stitching that is wavy, with loose threads. Outwardly exposed seams and rough edges add structure and shape. Every shirt is unique in message, sizing and fit. And now, tote bags.
