Clothes that deteriorate over time

Sometimes, you just get bored of your closet. The classics aren’t cutting it today. You feel footloose and fancy free. Out with the old, in with the new! Fashion is about the latest and greatest! Shopping shouldn’t be till death do us part!

Well, there are plenty of earth friendly ways to get rid of clothing that has outworn (no pun intended) its welcome. Have a clothing swap with friends, donate to a thrift store, OR…… You can buy clothing that is INTENDED to deteriorate over time.

 Innovative Polish fashion brand U.E.G. – Usa e Getta – which means “use and toss” reminds the wearer that everything fades with time.

“It is the premise of desirable objects designed to deteriorate that drives the whole project,” says the site.

Hoodies, strangely compelling with their NASA-lab-tech reminiscent design are made of Tyvek. Tees as delicate as spider webs drape ephemerally over the body, spelling out personalized messages due to their transparency.
