Upcycling clothes is made easier with the simple, straightforward and age-old tradition of dying clothes.
with increasing intrigue. Here was a bag of clothes packed with shimmering silver fabrics, crisp pink shirts and slouchy T-shirts. They were in equal parts colourful and pared-back. These were, as I told her, very, very good clothes.
And in the blink of an eye, this fashion editor was informed of a secret by a neuroscience PhD student that is far more ubiquitous than I ever realised.“This is how I built a capsule wardrobe from scratch, and it was easier than I thought”Needless to say that as soon as our plane clattered back onto British soil, I ordered a pack of Dylon’s Intense Black dye with the intention of dying a pair of well-loved cargo pants and a corset I have had for years, but have struggled to wear in recent years.
Let me be clear: there’s an art to dying your clothes, particularly if you had to part with a far-from-humble amount of money to make them yours in the first place. The corset and cargo pants I wanted to dye were sale purchases, which cost me next to nothing, so the risk of dying them black from beige felt low from the offset.
On the advice of fellow fashion journalists more skilled in the art of dying clothes, I bought a pack of Dylon dye that includes dying salts. This is important because it’s the salt that helps the dye attach to the fabric.
