ReWeave: an LA resource

It’s a kick to find a local brand featured in WWD. We met Julie and Debbie as they were launching ReWeave – they attended our first public event, a fashion-fiber fair and author talk with Rebecca Burgess in early 2020.

WWD covers their progress over the past five years, as Julie Benniardi and Debbie Ouyang have transformed luxury interior design scraps into luxury fashion. This Fall they’ve expanded, “with new collaborations on shoes with George Esquivel, streetwear with artist Halim Flowers and a capsule collection with historic Venice textile house Rubelli.”

“What happens to samples once the season is over?” was the question that initially led the two Pasadena neighbors, both textile lovers, to launch fashion as an extension of Benniardi’s interior design business.

To learn more about their collaborations, please link through to the original article on WWD. It may be behind a paywall; I was able to read it as part of a minimum number of free articles per month. If you cannot access it, I’ve uploaded a PDF below.
