Old television sets may not seem an obvious source of material for dressmaking and millinery, but Alison Bailey Smith, who has lived in Australia, Canada, San Francisco and England uses colorful recycled wire from electrical appliances as the basis for much of her work, which includes boxes, jewelry, lampshades, and clothing.
Alison loves to organize workshops to show everyone how to turn old waste wire – mostly from old televisions – into FashionArt and this is amazing!

We met Sarah Baulch in Sunday, in a fascinating instant suck in Brick Lane under the Old Truman Brewery. Who is Sarah? She is the stylist and the creative mind of ReVampt.
ReVampt is a small company intent on designing and producing fabulous products which are well made, quirky and unique. The unused off cuts of the fashion and textile industry inspire Sarah to create gorgeous retro pieces for home and people.
She takes vintage & modern materials, samples, extras, inspirational purchases and other unused accessories directly from the fabrics and makes it into something new: handbags, cushions, home wares, quilts with several techniques, patchwork very often.
ReVampt receive vintage fabric and accessories from retired dress-makers and former makers who no longer have the time or inclination to produce work themselves. Everything is handmade in the UK by individuals or small businesses. ReVampt combines a 21st century eco friendly approach with traditional skills and crafts. The surprising result is beautiful well crafted pieces from a sustainable and eco friendly source.
ReVampt is based in London, 52 Grafton road. In 2008 the company was finalist in Start-up Stars, a competition sponsored by HBC .
