The Stitchess | 🎀✂️ The Place of DIY in Alternative Spaces ✂️🎀 @TheStitchess | Uploaded March 2020 | Updated October 2024, 5 hours ago.
DIY is an intrinsic part of alternative fashion and culture. Many of the fashions we know and love today were started by a small group of crafty teens in their bedrooms. In this video I talk about some of the ways diy has had an effect on alternative spaces - but I also want to hear from you as well! I would love to hear what other people have to say about their experiences with DIY and how it pertains to ANY alternative space, whether it be fashion, art, music, indie press, or any other type of community!

Hi! I'm The Stitchess! I'm an interdisciplinary artist and seamstress. I started sewing when I was 8 and loved it so much I made it the focus of my study in college. After a lifetime of battling severe mental health issues - I found healing in the radical softness and Japanese kawaii communities. As much as I love fashion and clothing, I also think it's important to consider how and where clothing is made. I went fast fashion free at the start of 2019 to voice my concerns over the rapid consumerism gripping the garment industry. By no means am I perfect, but I think it's important to show that change is a process. I believe it is always important to strive to be better, even if perfection is unattainable. Thank you so much for letting me share my art and process with you. I hope we can all grow together.
