'I could have worn anything, I could have designed anything, but knew I wanted to make use of materials that already existed, rather than source new textiles.'
We may not consider Value Village as a destination for red carpet glamour. Sarah Jay thought differently.
“It was just a hilarious moment for me,” she laughs. “It honestly felt like the stars were aligning and having visions of Jeanne Bekker helped me to make a decision. I could have worn anything, I could have designed anything, but knew I wanted to make use of materials that already existed, rather than source new textiles.”
“We as North American send over 12 million tonnes of perfectly usable textile waste to landfill each year. Value Village is literally full of quality, fashionable finds. And when you look at things like bedspreads and sheets as starting points for your own design, anything is possible,” she says.Sarah drew inspiration from the specific detailing found on the bedspread and the lace curtains, which she turned into flared pants.
