Reconstruction
Reconstructed clothing is used or vintage clothing that has
been redesigned and resewn into a new garment.
Reconstructed clothing was trendy in the mid-2000s.
The book Generation T (2006), which gave instructions for
"108 Ways to Transform a T-Shirt", was one example of this trend.
The book included instructions for how to make halter tops, A-line skirts,
and string bikinis out of T-shirts.
Reconstructed clothing is appealing because it allows the designer to "stamp their ideas into an existing piece... and come up with a totally different piece" and because it makes the wearer's clothing unique.
The golden jacket
From menswear to womenswear.
This jacket consist a males blazer with a "corset"/top of a dress, that I've cutted out, sewed on the blazer so the zipper could work too and then I've added the charismatic ribbons and fringes which makes it a typical Balmain military/pea coat.
The little black dress
This iconic little black dress is a reconstruction of a maxi dress where I've used the inner layer and draped it out on the outside of the dress. The dress bottom is draped so it falls asymmetric and then I've retained the one shoulder. Again I've used the ribbons which is charismatic for my designs.
The two in one dress
The 2in1 dress is made out of a basic jersey turtle neck with long sleeves that I've sued from a side 42 to size 36. The leather dress on the outside is a midi high-waisted skirt that I've cut into pieces and draped together so it could work as a dress with a sipper on the side.
