Hand Me Up combines fashion and activism to combat waste and challenges conventional ideas of luxury by prioritizing and honoring the natural world.

POSTS STORIES REELS

TONIGHT.
NYC.
Hand-Me-Up reimagines what fashion can look like when we design consciously. Discarded materials transformed by hand, zero-waste techniques take center stage, and materials that could have been discarded are given an entirely new story.

One planet. One shot at preserving it through the eyes of luxury.

Because sustainability doesn’t have to mean sacrificing beauty, individuality, or incredible design. It can mean seeing possibility where others see waste.

Fashion is a material system - and when garments are discarded, so are the resources, energy, labor, and environmental impacts embedded in them.

🟡 Designing for reuse, repair, and minimal waste can reduce landfill waste, ease pressure on natural resources, and lessen climate and health impacts.

This New York Fashion Week, Jussara Lee and the @handmeupnyc collective will show how they put these ideas into practice. They are joining us at @parsonsschoolofdesign with their Spring 2027 Fashion Presentation, featuring archival pieces reworked by hand, zero-waste techniques, in celebration of the natural world.

September 10, 2026 from 5-7PM
Wollman Hall, @thenewschool
65 West 11th Street, 5th Floor, NYC

Featuring Jussara Lee, Zille Huma / Xilé, Pouleena Kumar, and Burkindy.

Your choices matter - for future generations and for our climate future. HML is glad to support and help share this show exploring what it means to design with materials that might otherwise be considered waste.
