Recently this month at Copenhagen Fashion Week, Danish designer Simon Rasmussen designed a collection of showpieces taken from recycled clothing found on the streets. The theme? “Street Heroes—the homeless, the prostitutes, the crazy people, the ones nobody wants to be around.”
Simon collaborated with Chilean artist Javier Tapia, who installed props like wagons and houses—everything collected from the streets.
The mesage? “It is an attempt to reuse materials, in order to get shelter.”
The point? For spring/summer 2011, Simon Rasmussen breathed new life into old clothes!
