What do you get when you cross a well-over-it’s-use-by-date Fletcher Jones skirt, circa 1993, with a sports jacket you’d pick up from a thrift store in Frankston? Your head is aching worse than a Slurpee induced brain freeze right now, correct? Please, relax.
A Name is a Label gather old garments then stitch, layer and knot them up. The result? A novel, surprisingly-flattering mixed-breed of attire.
While they have a penchant for deconstruction and recycled threads, they turn their backs on trends to face the personality of fashion (Iris Barrel Apfel would be proud).
Each piece is a completely individual work of art. That said, when handing over your dosh for one of the gourmet garments, feel relieved you won’t be surviving on frozen peas that week. A Name is a Label believe that dressing differently shouldn’t cost your liver.
