Junky Styling: Wardrobe Surgery

by Annika Sanders, Kerry Seager

The fashion label Junky Styling grew out the authors’ passion for transforming secondhand clothing into innovative fashion statements that showcase the wearer’s individual style and flair. In this book, Annika Sanders and Kerry Seager record the origins of the company, from the clothes being worn by the authors in London clubs in the nineties to a small retail shop to a successful fashion label. This beautifully illustrated book also shows readers how they can perform “wardrobe surgery” by deconstructing, recutting, and completely transforming their discarded clothes and fabrics into inspired designs. Whether you are a fashion student, home sewer, entrepreneur, environmentalist, or serious fashionista, Junky Styling is both a practical resource and a thought-provoking inspiration that will guide you through a completely new way of looking at the relationship between clothes, resources, and style.

Cool ideas, but the DIY's they have aren't the greatest. I think it's more of a book to look at to give you some ideas. The only thing I really wanted to learn how to do was their men's bomber jacket, but bc it is their most popular item, they didn't add it in their diy's.

This book was not what I expected. It is 90% history of a British fashion house with about six DIY projects. As a previous reviewer said, the pictures could probably give an experienced seamstress som inspiration but the book isnt much help for beginners.
