Looking for some cool new loungewear to wear around the house? CollinaStrada’s Hillary Taymour teamed up with her artist best friend Charlie Engman created the ultimate loungewear line that they’re auctioning for some very important causes.
, like most small, independent fashion businesses at the moment, is in a state of deep freeze, with orders put on hold and unanswered questions about how to proceed with the next season. But Taymour was determined to stay optimistic through the crisis, so she and Engman started working together on a special project. They were already crafting and DIY-ing things for their personal wardrobes.
Taymour decided they’d create a collection of 44 pieces of loungewear and auction the items online with all proceeds going to various charities. The “Quarantine Collection” includes sweatpants, hoodies, tees, and masks made entirely from fabric scraps and leftover materials in Taymour’s studio, much of them hand-embroidered and dyed by Engman and Taymour herself.
“We tried to think of causes that we cared about but those that also related to the spirit of the pieces,” Taymour told Vogue. “For example, we used fabric that I had from Ghana and have been working closely with the Or Foundation .” The funds raised from the sale of those pieces will be donated to the initiative Dead White Man’s Clothes, which collects data surrounding the secondhand clothing economy in Accra, Ghana, and provides education to try and help eliminate material waste.
In addition to providing relief during the pandemic, the project was a chance for Taymour and Engman to stretch their creative muscles. They organized a photoshoot at Engman’s house, which involved the two of them plus their model Sasha Melnychuk. They all wore masks and kept a safe distance while shooting.
