//// A new take on destroying shirts

This is so clever — and gives a plethora of wearing options. Cut the edges of the shirt, but leave the cut out straps partially attached. Use the straps to gather the garment when wearing. Elizabeth uses a tuxedo shirt for this — but I bet that oversized jersey garments would work beautifully for this, the stretchiness would probably give even more styling options.
And be sure to check out Elizabeths blog, The Trashicist. It’s fab!

I'm especially interested in young designers creations, non-established labels and indie fashion. So if you have something interesting to show, feel free to contact!
You can find Finnish design from both specific and some outfit posts - but both are tagged.
You might be also interested in DIY posts, How-to posts, DIY ideas - or my adventures in Etsy =).

Thanks for posting this! I have an ArtLab tshirt that has some cut out straps, and now I’m quite excited to see what I could do to create some gathers. And Elizabeth’s blog is going to make me obsessed with Gareth Pugh…

Tell me about that! I really liked the Gareth Pugh fringed cardigan in the one of the new posts. There is great DIY potential in that, too. Even triangular suede scarf with long fringes would be fab!
