Nicole McLaughlin is applying her viral upcycled gorpcore to Arc'teryx The designer, whose innovative garments made of everyday objects have taken over Instagram, discusses her new high fashion ambassadorship:
designers by accident. It all started in 2016 when she was working as a graphic designer at Reebok, and an interest in how things were made turned into experimenting with the company’s leftover scraps and teaching herself how to sew.
This curiosity led her to non-traditional materials, even foods, forcing sports equipment under her sewing machine’s needle – and then the pivotal moment of making her iconic volleyball shoe in 2018. Nicole took out a number of stitches, but wanted the object to keep its spherical shape.
Both Nicole’s work and the sport are rooted in creative experimentation and problem-solving, which is how Nicole describes her creative process – always subject to change. Sometimes she starts with an idea, other times she’s just messing around with found objects. Inspiration is everywhere, especially in New York: from bins of trash tossed out on the street to her kitchen drawers, where the idea might strike to turn a carrot peeler into a perfectly dangerous stiletto heel.
