Men’s Recycled Shirt Design (Maison de Moodie)

"Psycho Shirt" © - Maison de Moodie

I am into customising clothes at the moment, looking at things in a different way. Sustainability is something which I am very interested in. I do not believe in buying a piece of clothing and wearing it once – complete waste of money and cannot be done with the recession with our disposable income reduced. I bought these two shirts a while ago from the sale and never wore them. How can these two garments be worn together taking a classic shirt and creating a innovate design? Wearing it back to front makes it look more interesting. Cutting the back of the shirts off and sewing them together. The modern chic shirt, let’s face it there is only a few ways which a shirt can be worn and I have been getting bored.com!

Named the "Psycho Shirt" as it resembles a straight jacket when worn.

Vivienne Westwood - DIY Clothing

“DIY! Don’t buy my clothes. Well, if you are rich or can afford a stylist, you can get me. But if not, do it yourself. My idea is that you can mix charity, vintage, Portobello Road, pieces of Ikat fabric; wrap it all around yourself, use a handkerchief as knickers, mix safety pins and jewelery. But above all do something! Be optimistic!”
- Vivienne Westwood

During this time of economic recession and we are finding it hard to afford clothing why not DIY your own clothing as it says more about yourself and does not make you look the same as everyone else – I couldn’t think of anything worse “Blending In”. It is more sustainable to the environment by recycling your old clothing instead of buying the cheap clothing from Primark wearing it once; look at it from a different prospective. Bleach old jeans or turn a shirt back to front! The possibilities are endless....think outside the box
