some designers have incorporated these ideas into clothes. kapital does a boro jacket (pic 1). 11.11 has kantha shorts (pic 2) and capsule collection at NYC's Nepenthes using scrap Engineered Garments fabric (pic 3). if you're timid, bedspread is easiest

11-11.in/collections/...
Kapital jacket made from Japanese boro. The fabric is blue and had a bunch of cream running stitches all over it. 11.11 kantha shorts. Fabric is blue and has white running stitches. A person is wearing an outfit from 11.11's capsule collection at Nepenthes. The outfit is made from scraps of material left over from Engineered Garments' production runs. They are wearing a long patchwork coat, wide pants, slip-on shoes, patchwork shirt, and what looks to be a shawl. A person in the foreground is also walking by. Blue kantha quilt made from layers of blue fabric. Motif has little squares. A bowl is sitting on top of some books in the corner of the quilt

kantha is a south asian technique for recycling scrap fabric. it was originally used at a time when fabric was very precious. the technique involves attaching layers of scrap material using a running stitch (pics 1, 2 and 3). it's similar to japanese boro (pic 4).
Scraps of blue fabric piled in a little heap. Scraps of blue fabric layered on top of each other and attached using a running stitch. Someone has their hands on the fabric, seemingly smoothing it out. A close up of kantha fabric. Shows the stitching. Japanese boro. Shows layers of blue scrap fabric attached using running stitches.

Sure hope so! I'm still not used to this app but at least some of the features feel like old school 🐦

I've also been into Percia Verlin's YouTube channel. You can see how the videos here aren't strictly gendered. Ideas such as "Tokyo fashion" and "city boy aesthetic" (which is basically Japanese Americana) can be worn by anyone.
