The first time I encountered transformable clothing was at American Apparel, but I knew that more designers and labels would start producing more of these shape-shifting creations. Enter the Lemuria Knitwear Project. Before I go on, however, I would like to note that I'm sure other designers have been creating such garments much longer than American Apparel has had their selection in stores.
That said, the Lemuria Knitwear Project has created a few outstanding pieces that puts mass-market clothing to shame. With harem pants that shift into a long-sleeved dress and much, much more, you'll have a never-ending wardrobe. Visit Lemuria's website for videos.
