The Daily Swank – Vintage Reconstructed WILDEWEAR

Today’s Daily Swank is the art of reconstructed fashion. Combining old and vintage elements with new. 

I recently interviewed  Tricia the designer behind WILDEWEAR. I asked her, What is your vision for your clothing?
Tricia: I create clothes that have interesting combinations of color and
texture. I love to mix things up in unusual ways; combining old and
new. I love to play with making things balance by using opposite
extremes.

VI: How does your clothing relate to vintage?

Tricia: I love to use vintage fabrics and recycled clothes with modern design
elements and create a completely different look. I get bored with
ordinary designs and so I am always changing and creating new looks to
inspire thinking outside the box and being creative in the ways we
dress, live and think. I want to inspire others to be more mindful and
less wasteful. I love to honor old things, fabrics and clothes ,and
people. There is so much to learn from the past.

My favorite part of this interview was when Tricia left me with this.

I love to buy old vintage clothes and salvage what once was and create
a new modern look. Combining fashion in this way creates synergy and
this new energy in fashion is so much more exciting to me, both
visually and conceptually.


This is just a sample of Tricia’s work. This is her HOME GROWN LOVE shirt. It includes combinations of new and recycled fabrics & clothing. This one has sold, but Tricia welcomes custom orders for her clothing.

 

 

While your at WILDEWEAR check out the huge dress selection. This one Fancy Field of Cornflakes is one of my favorites. I love the bold colors and soothing color combos.

 

I’ll be back soon with a second Daily Swank special today!
