As the weather shifts and we transition from summer to fall, I find myself reflecting on the circular nature of everything around us. This time of year often brings nostalgia and deeper thought, and it reminds me of a collaboration that perfectly embodied these themes: Zero Waste Daniel's partnership with ThredUp in 2022.
For this project, ThredUP provided 2,000 pounds of unsellable clothing, and I had the opportunity to breathe new life into it. From those discarded pieces, we created 1,000 unique items, including sweaters, handbags, dog beds, and even bowls. The collection was aptly named the Full Circle Collection—a reference to our chosen theme: “what’s old is new again.” At the heart of both our brands is the mission to divert textile waste from landfills, and this collaboration brought that shared vision to life in such a meaningful way.
The collection's spokesmodel was none other than the iconic Fran Drescher, whose style from the '90s inspired much of the design. Her involvement made the project even more special, bringing a touch of nostalgia to the contemporary designs.
This collaboration highlighted the power of circularity—not just in fashion, but in life. It's a beautiful reminder that with creativity and purpose, we can turn what might be discarded into something new, valuable, and inspiring.
