Jill Danyelles ‘Fiftyx3’

Jill Danyelle works on creative projects that deal with the ecology of our lives. Her project fiftyRX3 is about style and sustainability and is a photo documentary of what what she wore every day for a year which fifty percent of it was reused or recycled garments. Danyelle's mantra is reuse, reduce, and recycle, when talking about why ethical fashion is important she says 'ethics is part of ecology and evolution, part of learning, growing and surviving individually and as a race'. In an interview with Victoria & Albert museum she discusses what you can do to make a difference with ethical fashion these include 'pull out things I haven't worn in awhile, reinvent a piece or wear it in a different way, focus more on quality over quantity, buy clothing made from sustainable materials and buy vintage and second hand'. Her interview inspried me to include second hand or vintage clothing in my images as well as reinventing a piece by wearing it in a different way.
