Hello Neighbors! I am a fashion designer (I live in Highland Park and have my design studio in Lawrenceville) and during this time at home, I have begun to work on a new fashion collaboration with another Pittsburgh fashion designer, Nicole Obrien. Nicole and I are going to be creating new clothing out of old/used clothing, upcycling/recycling to help keep clothing out of landfills. So I thought I would ask here, if people are going through their closets and dressers now and have old clothing that they like to get rid of, I would happily take them off your hands. During this “stay at home order”, I would follow all the social distancing guidelines to pick up the clothing. I'm able to walk or ride my bike around the neighborhood to pick up bags of clothing that would be left out (curbside preferably) in trash bags (or i would drive by on my way to the park to take a walk if there were multiple bags). I would then take all the clothing home and wash them immediately before sorting them. Anything that can be used to create new items, I will start to prep them as much as I can at home, getting them ready to work with when I can go back to my studio. Anything that we can not use, we will bag up and donate to Goodwill when it is safe to do so. Items we are specifically looking for now are: Jeans/Denim, Mens dress pants, men’s dress shirts, jersey knit or other knit shirts. We can take anything, but those items are particularly useful. Items DO NOT need to be in great shape. We can work around: tears, holes. missing buttons, ripped seams, broken zippers and missing items, etc... We will be able to harvest the useable parts of the clothing to make something new and exciting. If you have any questions, or if you’d like to give us your old/used clothing, please send me an email and I can answer you questions and/or set up a time to pick up bags of clothing. Thank you for your time, Stay safe and healthy! Bradtord
