Graduation project by Felicia Naomi Cherry

Clothes are not just clothes. Inspired by her own childhood memories and the desire to create aesthetically sustainable fashion, the designer uses nostalgia, play and her own discarded baby and children's clothes in her design process. Nostalgia can satisfy a need to feel connected in a rapidly changing world, and sentimental value motivates the recycling of used clothing into new designs. The designer hopes to offer adults access to childhood memories and bring adult clothing to life by adding playful, recognizable elements.
