Reduce
Reduce is a brand founded by my friend and me, dedicated to combating textile waste in the fashion industry by repurposing recycled materials. Our collections have shown in multiple Kansas City Fashion Week and Omaha Fashion Week shows
Duality of Man S/S '24
This collection was entitled The Duality of Man and was inspired by the London punk movement and harshly juxtaposed with a pastel color story. This collection uses dead-stock fabric, second hand ties and textiles, donated denim and table clothes. Duality of Man features hand knit pieces, dye work, beading, pleating and tailoring. This collection was shown at Kansas City Fashion Week S/S 2024.
Ghostriders F/W '23
This collection draws inspiration from Johnny Cash’s "Ghost Riders in the Sky", blending a classic Western aesthetic with a fresh, modern twist.
This collection incorporates second-hand crochet pieces, upcycled tablecloths, donated fabrics, and vintage leather, emphasizing sustainability without compromising style. It showcases intricate craftsmanship, including detailed pattern making, hand smocking, dye work, and meticulous attention to detail. Ghost Rider was proudly featured at Kansas City Fashion Week F/W 2023
Summer Child S/S '23
Summer Child is a nostalgic ode to the innocence and wonder of youth. Inspired by the naivety of childhood and the blissful ignorance of summer days, the collection breathes new life into upcycled table runners and vintage tea cloths. Hand-beaded with freshwater pearls and assembled over months, each piece is a delicate fusion of craftsmanship and memory. With pearl-adorned chainmail and embroidered motifs, Summer Child captures the beauty of imperfection.
