the uniform project

so fun! i stumbled across this today on abovethefraymag. since may 1st, sheena matheiken has worn a uniform as “an exercise in sustainable fashion.” i loved seeing all the looks she has pulled together...pulling together outfits with vintage stuff, flea market finds and stuff donated by other designers. (i didn’t pull the most exciting photos...so see for yourself) and donations go to the Akanksha’s School Project to fund uniforms and other educational expenses for children living in Indian slums. i was just telling someone today that i wished the kids wore uniforms.(heck, sometimes i wish i did!) a friend of hers designed the main dress...it can be worn backwards, open, closed...very versatile. i’ll have to get a hold of the pattern.
