Uniform Project

uniform project

Sheena Matheiken is wearing the same dress every day for a year as an exercise in sustainable living, and to raise money for the Akanksha Foundation, which helps provide education for slum children in Mumbai. Her friend Eliza Starbuck designed a versatile, reversible, comfy black dress and made 7 of them for this project. Sheena is now styling the dress differently each day, with lots of unexpected (mostly secondhand) accessories and layered pieces. Above I comped together 3 of my favourite outfits; this girl’s style is off the proverbial hook. Right now she’s on day 41 and no repeat outfits. I’m totally following this project. Check it out here.
