Worn Again
Dana Cohen is the name behind Worn Again, an innovative and design driven collection made from upcycled textiles. Cohen transforms old garments into new one-of-a-kind designs, showing that something of beauty can be created from something discarded. Her collection beautifully features the knitted garments that went into the making of the new design, mostly knits with bold bright colorations such a Argyles and stripes, classic sweater shapes disintegrate into felted and woven deconstruction of pure shredded fibers. Transitioning from the conservative and understated to the avant-garde in a single design, the silhouettes also transform from fluid and form fitting to sculptural and architectural in nature. Shredded and felted fibers have a fresh brilliance that brings each piece to life completely recontextualizing waste as valuable resource in the process. Cohen understood through the process that she touched people’s past, as she turned it into a future. Originally inspired by a Jackson Pollock painting, she decided that each color combination would reference one of his paintings, leading to the abstract nature of the finished patterns.
