Annette Becker introduces the concept of designer recycling. Annette shows examples by American designer Nancy Johnson, who specializes in vintage inspired, romantic women's clothing; Todd Oldham, an innovative designer who recontextualizes familiar materials into a fashion context that makes people consider them in a new way, and Japanese designer, Hanae Mori, who would upcycle, or repurpose textiles from traditional Kimonos into contemporary designs.
