Redesign, Recycle and Restore

Fashion Design students experiment with creative ways to redesign, recycle or restore their clothes by repairing, customizing, or embellishing their previous designs. Students use these techniques to update or create something new from something old. This project is one of Ms. Ziarko's favourites, as it encourages her students to use all their imagination and creativity to make their own designs, and at the same time reuse old clothes and fabrics that, in her students' hands, become the latest fashion!
