If you’re looking for an eco-friendly way to amp up your personal style, look no further than Brooklyn-based shop Zero Waste Daniel. The NYC clothing designer and self-proclaimed “zero-waste lifestyle pioneer” Daniel uses pre-consumer waste sourced directly from the local garment industry and other hard-to-recycle materials. The mission is this: send nothing to landfills.
“I don’t make work that hurts people, or oppresses people, that makes someone hate their body or their face, or that pollutes someone’s water,” Zero Waste Daniel writes on the site. “I’m willing to work with what we’ve got, I don’t care how long it takes, I care that you look good. I care that it’s made here, that it’s made fair.”
