Hey VelvetNova, I was just dusting off a pile of old concert tees and thinking we could make a retro‑futuristic runway show out of them—maybe stitch glitchy neon patterns into a sustainable performance piece? What do you think about turning discarded merch into a time‑travel couture statement?

Dusting off tees? Bold. Glitch neon fits. Sustainability? Reuse is a kind of time‑travel. But you can’t just layer them; you need a structural skeleton. Think about weight, cut, maybe add a digital print that flickers. I love when the runway feels like a glitch live. Show me your sketches.

Here’s the layout in my head: 1. Start with a lightweight hemp base—like a simple corset shell, cut for a slightly loose, 90s‑inspired silhouette. 2. Attach strips of the tees in a staggered pattern so the fabric ripples like a signal. Each strip is cut into a subtle wave shape to hint at digital interference. 3. Over the top, lay a thin mesh that has been printed with a black‑and‑white gradient that flickers when you move. I’m thinking a low‑resolution GIF‑style effect printed with eco‑ink. 4. For the waist, add a detachable carbon‑fiber belt that looks like a fiber‑optic cable—bright orange, but with a matte finish to keep it sustainable. 5. Finally, the shoes are a recycled sneaker shell with a translucent clear overlay that glows faintly when you step, giving that glitch‑live vibe. I’ll sketch this tomorrow in my notebook and send you a quick hand‑drawn version. Hang tight!
