# Thrifted Fabric Fashion Restructional Clothing by Ninna Berger is Made Out of Discarded Clothes By Meghan Young | Published 2013-11-07 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/restructional-clothing References: [coolhunting](http://www.coolhunting.com/style/restructional-clothing-by-ninna-berger.php) & [restructionalclothing](http://restructionalclothing.com/) As amazing as it is that more and more people are donating their [used clothes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/closet-clearout-challenge) to those in need, more often than not they are succumbing to [pressures of consumerism](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/coachtopia-1) as well as a lack of care for clothing; the Restructional Clothing collection particularly focuses on the latter. The designer, Stockholm-based Ninna Berger, states, "Why make user-friendly clothes? Because people don't know how to look after a garment anymore—how to iron properly or fold pieces—which is why they throw stuff away before they need to." Yet the [avant-garde designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hm-x-glenn-martens) that make up the Restructional Clothing collection don't look as though they were made out of used pieces. Instead, the stunning, grunge-like creations are masterpieces in their own right. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.8/10 - Popularity: 77% | Activity: 28% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Hip Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/hipfashion) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Sustainable Fashion:** Opportunity for fashion businesses to focus on repurposing materials and reducing waste. - **Upcycling:** Opportunity to create new and unique products by transforming discarded materials. - **Slow Fashion:** Opportunity to promote a more conscious and sustainable approach to fashion production and consumption. ### Where This Applies - **Fashion Design:** Opportunity for designers to innovate and experiment with sustainable and upcycled materials. - **Textile Recycling:** Opportunity for businesses to collect and repurpose discarded clothing and textiles into new products. - **Eco-friendly Retail:** Opportunity to offer sustainable fashion products and promote environmentally conscious shopping habits. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Surplus Fabric Childrenswear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/remake-by-burberry.md) - [Upcycled Tent Garments](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/music-festival-waste.md) - [Upcycled Limited Collection Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/seen-heard-worn-before.md) - [Sustainable Clothing Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/regeneration-nation.md) - [Retail Overconsumption Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/coachtopia-1.md) - [Creative Laundry Solutions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rewear-chair.md) - [Affordable Deadstock Apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shein-1.md) - [Urban Deconstructed Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/louther-x-carhartt-wip-fw25.md) - [Regenerative Designer Fashion Shows](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/endless-runway.md)
