| A unique line of One of a Kind Wearable Art for Children and Moms,
with the environment in mind.
By Jill Pillot
14 years ago I opened “Ricochet”, a children and maternity consignment store in San Mateo, with the idea of recycling gently worn clothes. From there I got inspired and took garments apart and gave them a new look. I have always had a creative mind, and was always making things from findings, but I felt I lacked technique. So I decided to sign up for the Fashion Program at Canada College, where I graduated; first in costume design, then in fashion design.
For about two years I created and designed costumes for several community theatres. Still not having found my real niche, I tried to combine a little of both, and came up with One of a Kind Wearable Art for children, with a European flair.
I decided to participate in a couple of fashion shows and a few fairs with some of my own designs, where the response was beyond my own expectation, so I decided to continue on-
With still the environment and being green in mind, I began designing clothes by using recycled/vintage materials. My inspiration comes from taking garments apart, setting them on the table and letting my mind flow into a new creation.
Taking it step by step, I would really like to see this line grow, and be an inspiration to others. For the fashionable parent who like their children to stand out, this is a fun, wearable and comfortable unique line of clothes, with a European flair.
