The Series was founded in 2016 by Ella Wiznia while in recovery from an eating disorder. Realizing the negative impact seeing images of unhealthy and unrealistic bodies had on her personally - and on society as a whole - led her to create a line of clothing that was different from what she saw being advertised to her. At the same time, she began educating herself on the enormous environmental impact the fashion industry has on the planet, and has since committed to exclusively wearing and working with secondhand and sustainable materials.

The Series is a brand centered around the exploration of mediums and materials that have historically been tied to traditional craft and domesticity, often overlooked and undervalued due to their association with women's work.

Reconstructing crochet blankets, quilt remnants, and pieces of embroidery into one-of-a-kind, wearable garments is an intentional effort to honor and elevate the materials and give them a second life outside of the home.

We source vintage, antique and deadstock textiles and other secondhand materials from around the world, which are reworked to create one of a kind pieces by our small team. We carefully source our materials with an eye for quality and longevity, and we always make an effort to select items that need a little help extending their lifespan - we would never cut up a vintage quilt in perfect condition! 

With the exception of some of our crocheted pieces which are made from sustainably grown organic fibers, every garment we produce uses only pre-existing materials in an effort to keep our production footprint as minimal as possible.
