Collina Strada creates a quarantine collection made entirely from repurposed deadstock

While the majority of us have been spending our quarantines sleeping more and anxiously staring at the ceiling, Hillary Taymour of New York-based environmentally conscious brand Collina Strada was busy working away in her studio. Together with Chicago-born photographer Charlie Engman and wig artist Tomihiro Kono (in their respective studios), Taymour has created a playful quarantine collection, with 100 percent of proceeds going to various charities, including No Kid Hungry, a Navajo relief fund, Dead Man’s White Clothes, HIP Give, Queens Centers for Progress. 

Consisting of 44 pieces, the joyous line—featuring face masks, tie dye t-shirts and hoodies, and graphic trousers—was created entirely from deadstock fabrics, leftover samples, and fabric scraps found in Taymour’s studio. Alone in their individual spaces, Taymour and Engman repurposed the fabrics with dye and Swarovski crystals, while Kono used scrap hair from his studio to make one-of-a-kind masks. Featuring model Sasha Melnychuk in the campaign, this colourful collection is guaranteed to bring a smile to your face in this uncertain time. Collinda Strada will be auctioning the collection online until 25 May.
