Fashion Designer Diaries #3: Thrifting at The Garment District, Cambridge Science Festival, Upcycling, & More!
9/27/24 Last Monday I met up with somebody to go thrifting. We want to a place called The Garment District.. It's a thrift store that I first discovered on Instagram. I was drawn to this place because of its $2 a pound of clothing section. $2 a pound for clothes is crazy. Back in my hometown you'd be lucky to get a single garment for less than $5. Since I've been wanting to upcycle lately, I was hoping to pull some basic garments out of this pile. (The photo quality isn't great because I was trying to preserve my old phone's battery) This place is huge. I honestly wasn't expecting it to be as big as it was. I also wasn't expecting it to have an emphasis on vintage clothing and costumes. The first floor focuses on costumes. Aside from just the costumes themselves, accessories and makeup can also be found here. This will definitely be an interesting place to check out once Halloween rolls around. I'm not sure if everything on this floor is secondhand. Mo
