When fashion start-up “Retread Designs” first discussed their renewed kids-wear concept with me, I was instantly inspired by their creativity, practicality and ingenuity. Retread takes pre-loved, quality adult clothing and remodels it to become funky, sturdy kids fashion utilising existing double seams and other features often lacking in children’s wear. The new business needed an edgy look that not only highlighted their re-use and reinvention philosophies, but that would work well on a sewn-in fashion label as well.
