Building sustainable brands, creating naturally sustainable products
Fashion Clinic
Fashion should not be disposable. We have to change design to design change.
We are fashion surgeons, here to give clothes a second chance at life. We resuscitate dead stock and pre-loved clothing so that we can live in style without adding to the world’s landflls.
FOCUSING ON REDESIGN, RESTORE, REPAIR
REDESIGN: We specialise in redesigning and upcycling deadstock garments and material for individuals, fashion and lifestyle brands as well as corporates, NGOs and theatre groups, creating fashion pieces, artwork, home furnishings and costumes.
RESTORE: We hire low income sewing ladies from the Sham Shui Po, Shau Mau Ping, and Tsuen Wan areas in Hong Kong, as part of our Fashion Clinic sewing team. Everything is made locally.
REPAIR: We value our community, we come together as Fashion Clinic Collective to restore and redesign clothing, jewellery, hats and bags.
PROVIDING FOUR SERVICES
Extend life of clothing for customers.
Redesign & upcycle deadstock for brands.
Providing upcycle and repair workshops for people.
Transforming abandoned textiles into upcycled artwork.
THE COLLABORATIVE LANDSCAPE
We believe in a COLLABORATIVE way of working together rather than a COMPETITIVE way.
At Fashion Clinic, we differentiate ourselves with the “collective mindset”, as we bring together specialists from different areas in fashion to provide a head-to-toe repair redesign service for our clients.
