Creativity has always run through my veins through music, styling and textiles/fashion design but so has a love of people to the point where I have spent most of my adult life as a Psychotherapist, doing my creative pursuits as a hobby on the side. It has only been the last couple of years where I have really allowed my creativity to take centre stage and went back to Uni to study a Bachelor of Applied Fashion. Embracing my inner artist has been such a fun journey of self love and my own form of reinvention.
Working and training within the fashion industry has provided much learning of the harms associated with fast fashion including how clothes are made and also disposed of but it has also helped me to be part of the solution too. In an effort to be more sustainable, I try to use second hand materials in my fashion design when I can, choosi
Working and training within the fashion industry has provided much learning of the harms associated with fast fashion including how clothes are made and also disposed of but it has also helped me to be part of the solution too. In an effort to be more sustainable, I try to use second hand materials in my fashion design when I can, choosing materials that are natural and of good quality such as leather, wool, denim or wood. I am also exploring using natural dyes such as indigo, digital printing and many of my items for sale are made to order which ensures less waste. I also understand the importance of mending and repairing and offer my sewing, tailoring and clothing repairs services to ensure that loved items stay with their owners longer or are upcycled to take on a new lease of life. Reach out using the contact page if you have some second hand fabrics to donate or if you would like to use my services.
Ironically my name (Renae) means "Reborn" and it is so fitting (pardon the pun) as I am really into reinvention. Creativity has always allowed me to recreate myself in so many ways and I see fashion as a way that we can reinvent ourselves too as we put on different outfits choosing to express the authentic parts of ourselves that we want
Ironically my name (Renae) means "Reborn" and it is so fitting (pardon the pun) as I am really into reinvention. Creativity has always allowed me to recreate myself in so many ways and I see fashion as a way that we can reinvent ourselves too as we put on different outfits choosing to express the authentic parts of ourselves that we want to at any given moment, but also experimenting with different identities or roles and becoming who we choose to become. This idea of reinvention is also a theme of my upcycling work as well where I use existing items (textiles and furniture mostly) and recreate them so they take on a new purpose. You'll see a lot of reinvention in my creations.
