reworked clothing
shopelleclipse is an independent brand
with the aim to reduce harm to the planet
tackling social, ethical and environmental issues
by providing information and products
to help people lead a more harmonious lifestyle
One of our biggest concerns is the fashion industry
The second largest polluter on the planet
Which cuts corners to produce fast and cheap clothing
giving little regard to it's workers
customers or the planet
Creating low quality unoriginal
items that last a few wears
Then are seen unfit to continue wearing
due to being out of fashion or having fallen to pieces
That item will then go on to live
the rest of it’s sad existence on a landfill
or get burned and emit harmful fumes into the atmosphere
Shopelleclipse believes in wearing what you have
and loving what you own
Buying high quality garments either second hand
or from sustainable sources
Items that will last a lifetime
not just the season
we believe in being unique
and having fun with our clothing
up-cycling garments to fit you better
and hold a special meaning
making you love them so much more
cherishing your garments for a lifetime
by adding embroidery to pre loved garment
I create something unique, fun and sustainable
thats inclusive of one and all
each design also brings to light
a devastating issue we face
and provides information and solutions
to how we can help to overcome it
and create a brighter future for one and all
This planet is our home
we must look after it
cherish it
& do no harm
animals
the first collection
this collection is tackling some of the issues the other inhabitants of this planet are having to endure because of our actions.
Human beings rip through this world like it is their own.
But it’s not, we are not the only ones living here,
we do not have the right to tear others from lands they’ve
inhabited for millennia and claim it as our own
stripping it for all its worth and laying it barren
Just to move on and repeat the cycle
exterminating species after species in our path
giving no regard to the future we are creating for ourselves
and what that future shall entail for us
a barren wasteland with no water as it’s polluted
no soil to grown crops because it is damaged
no natural phenomenons because they’ve been destroyed
No animals, no plants. No clear blue skies
Just big factories chuffing smoke into the atmosphere
greedy power fulled hierarchies of people. What planet is that
What life is that for our children and our children children
In the words of David Attenborough
‘we don’t inherit the land from our ancestors, we borrow it from our children’
We must learn to live in harmony with this planet and all its inhabitants.
this collection brings to light different effects our action are having on the innocent animals around us
although the designs may be passive and naturalistic
the message behind them is powerful
my reasoning behind choosing to only show the animal
and not the situations in my designs
is that a t-shirt with a seal trapped in a fishing net
maybe be aggressively impacting and on point now
however in a few to ten year it might not be on topic
or exactly want you want to wear
or something you can wear everywhere
i want to create timeless pieces of clothing
that are staples in your wardrobe
and can be worn over and over again for any occasion or situation
making you cherish them and in turn waste less
it also allows people who aren't fully into activism
or wearing impacting and aggressive clothing
to still be able to wear an item with their favourite animal on it
my aim is to educate and influence positive change
through creating awareness and starting conversations
bringing to light issues we face
and helping to create a brighter future
