RENEW COLLABORATION
TOURING THE EILEEN FISHER RENEW WAREHOUSE
/ IRVINGTON, NEW YORK
Carmen Gama explains the organized system for sorting incoming Renew clothing pieces. With shipments arriving daily, it requires a handful of employees to intake, inspect & catalogue each piece by hand.
Pitched by EILEEN FISHER copywriter, Alena Manzor, the collaboration culminates in a two-outfit giveaway on social media.
Upcycling pre-loved Renew garments, they transformed into six nykamping designs by avoiding (or embracing) holes, stains, & distressed areas.
Alena conducted an interview at the Suttons Bay studio, then wrote a beautiful blog post for the EILEEN FISHER Journal.

98 COTTON
2 SPANDEX -
Ivory stretch denim remnants from the haori jacket were enough for a tote bag. Since the pant remnants had visible coffee & mud stains, the panels were splatter painted for added effect.
-
1OO LINEN
-
Five linen pants with stretched seams & thigh distressing – deconstructed then reconstructed in a zero waste format. Rounding out the “rise” (crotch) apex created a bubble effect.
-
1OO LINEN
-
Also called Japanese gardening pants, these wrap pants use ties to be size inclusive & adjustable for various bodies. Multiple pairs of grey linen EF pants went into the patchwork design. Four pockets for carrying all the things.

THE PROCESS
There’s so much beauty (& chaos) within the process of upcycling. Even just garment construction in general. Deconstructing EILEEN FISHER clothes requires extra time & problem solving than beginning with a rectangular textile.
