By upcycling only donated or second-hand garments, Wear and Tear throws a wrench into the fashion system that demands hyper-consumerism. Taking an old article of clothing and bringing new life, new energy to it through deconstruction.
Why throw it away when something dynamic and unique can be created? The garments evolve with every use. They "wear and tear" every time they are worn or washed. Every time your wear it- it carries those stories. It tears in remembrance.
Every time a hole gets larger, you put more meaning into it. More use begets more love.
