TURN YOUR WARDROBE UPSIDE DOWN. REWORK. DANCE.
Do you have a piece at home that you no longer wear, but are not quite ready to give up on? Bring it along. Let’s see what it could become.
We all have a tango piece that once danced a lot and has now been hanging in the wardrobe for far too long.
A skirt that has survived milongas, marathons and perhaps one too many early-morning tandas. A dress you still love but simply no longer wear. Trousers that could feel right again with a small change. Or a piece whose story with you may be finished, but could be just beginning with someone else.
Sometimes all it needs is a different slit, a new waistband, a shorter length, a touch of lace, a message… Or perhaps we turn the piece completely on its head and make something new from it. That is what I love most about redesigning clothes: we do not begin with a blank page, but with something that already has a story.
And tango clothes have quite a few stories to tell.
They know hot summer milongas, suitcases that are too small, changing shoes under the table, the last tanda of the evening, and that moment when you put something on and simply know you feel good in it.
Pieces like these deserve more than being left in a wardrobe.
Let’s bring them back among people.
Back into an embrace.
Back onto the dance floor.
