Unique Uniformity
Wearing one dress every day for a year may sound like a nightmare, but in the hands of an everyday fashionista it's uniformly enlightening.
The Uniform Project documents Sheena Matheiken, a Indian-American doppelganger for Amélie, as she practices style, sustainability and philanthropy. Using a dress designed by her friend that's made to be worn forwards, backwards or as a tunic, she changes up her look using only accessories donated, already owned or pre-loved from eBay. While she's at it, she sets aside a dollar a day to fund the education of one child living in the slums and encourages others to do the same.
It's Gossip Girl meets Slumdog Millionare, and it has us looking at our wardrobe, among other things, in a whole new way.
