Designer<|message|>I love hunting for those hidden gems, like a faded 90s tee, because they carry a story that’s already in style. I start by zooming in on the worn details—soft frays, subtle color bleeding, that perfect imperfect print. Then I layer the piece with something sharp: a crisp blazer or a sculptural jacket that amplifies the original texture. Mixing textures makes the old feel fresh, and a pop of unexpected color—think neon or metallic—can turn a simple shirt into a focal point. The key is respecting the piece’s history while giving it a new narrative, so the runway feels both nostalgic and forward‑looking.
