I came across a posting today about a designer here in New York who vows to wear the same dress for a year straight, in the name of sustainable fashion. I recognized this girl right away from riding the elevator with her in the building where I used to work. I always thought she looked super cool and chic, so no wonder she can pull something like this off! Her name is Sheena Matheiken and you can check out all of the details of her project at The Uniform Project. She began with seven identical dresses designed to be worn in a variety of ways and everyday plans to reinvent her look by adding different accessories and layers. There is a real point to this project as well - she'll be collecting donations to be made to the Akansha Foundation, a non-profit organization that helps educate children living in India, which is also where Sheena grew up. Seems like a pretty rad idea, but would require more planning and creativity than I ever have energy for each morning..
