How many wedding guest dresses do we have in the closet unused?
Most of us have gone to many Weddings as guests and we have the closet full of dresses that we have not used again, but that we love them.
Well, Masum Karimi offers us the solution to reuse our wardrobe and also be sustainable with the Planet, since we do not throw garments in the trash, which can hardly be recycled.
With all this I was already intrigued and eager to know more about how to reuse clothes and make it Haute Couture. So last February 20 I approached his Atelier on Ortega y Gasset Street in Madrid to the presentation of “Made to Order” they organized to publicize their catalog proposal.
Collection “Made to Order”
You will be wondering what exactly this “Made to Order” consists of: because with that dress, suit or fabric you have saved, you choose the look you want to get and her team will get down to work, and in about 15 days you will have The order in your hands. They will keep you informed throughout the process. In addition to being “Upclying”: they reuse textile materials or waste, and give it a new identity.
What are the advantages of “Made to Order”?:
1. You reduce emissions and help create a conscious philosophy with fashion. A sustainable closet.
2. Quality materials and clothing to ensure a durable garment.
3.A unique garment, nobody will have the same model.
4. If there is enough cloth, they can create accessories: purse, necklace, earrings, catchers, because in Masum Karim they do not get rid of the remains of fabrics.
Sorry, I was so excited about this idea of Sustainable and re-usable Fashion, that I haven’t told you who Masum Karimi is:
This brand was born 30 years ago by the hand of Masum when in Iran (where she is from) she began to sew as a hobby. In the 90s she settled in Madrid where she continued to train in pattern making, cutting and sewing under the French model of haute couture, which she moved to her personal style.
