Following sustainable fashion, this month’s product focuses on a brand that utilizes thrifted and damaged clothes to rework them into beautifully upcycled pieces. Defective Garment’s collaboration with Nike’s Re-Creation Program is part of an initiative that advances the goal of zero waste in the clothing industry. Zac Cabrera is the founder of Defective Garments, an online thrift store in which he sells custom clothing. Zac repairs the clothes through a cut-and-sewn process integrated with other fabric or clothing items. Each piece is a one-of-one, so there’s always a new creative perspective when bringing the items back to life. Nike connected with Cabrera and released a collection full of brightly-colored high-quality sportswear garments. This collection will be available this month and will surely be a fashion lover’s dream.
