Fashion – Los Angeles

Hello there! I love everything old and things that are unwanted and what people have banished from their closets. Transforming these outlying pieces into something beautiful and wearable again is the best challenge. All of the designs repurpose vintage or unused surplus materials to create modern and sustainable limited edition pieces. I make clothing for people to feel transformed, unique and a feeling that you\'ve purchased something ethical to sustain our planet. 12.7 million tons of clothing go directly into American landfills a year. After my experience in working in the fashion industry I felt a need to conserve the environment in any way I could by producing a more efficient and environmentally friendly way of making clothing. I\'ve worked for such labels as Isabel Toledo, Madison Marcus, Twig, Jamison, Express, and Robert Rodriguez. The further I went in the fashion industry I felt I was moving farther from the hand making aspect of my creativity and adding to the destruction of our planet. So, I decided to start OUTLYING. It\'s emphasis is on creativity, reused materials, hand draping and all inhouse production.
