100% Reclaimed Changing the planet one tee at a time.
HYPERCLASH design has always been centered on the belief
for the need to reduce, recycle, and reuse. Our society is geared for the consumption of products that
are used briefly and then disposed; this is especially true with clothing. Over 20 billion pounds of clothing ends
up in our landfills every year.
HYPERCLASH utilizes reclaimed materials featuring rough edges, symbolic of urban
lifestyle yet designed to reflect urban chic; representing an earthy and honest
reflection of life. I am driven to
do everything possible to minimize my ecological footprint in the clothing I
create by primarily using recycled tee shirts, all of which were destined to
landfills.
The company is known for its
original designs and product branding for the eco conscious consumer. My collection consists of restructuring
cloth from tee shirts with varied colors and patterns and once assembled become
unique one of a kind creations. By
producing clothing from reclaimed materials, my business minimizes its impact
on the environment, while maintaining innovative, cutting edge fashion, the
HYPERCLASH trademark. All my
products are handmade in the USA from earth friendly sustainable, recycled,
reclaimed or organic materials.
I use a vertically integrated
business model, which minimizes the use of sub-contractors and offshore labor. Sewing, photography, marketing,
distribution, and design all happen at my Santa Fe, New Mexico studio.
