This Woman Transforms Second-Hand Clothes Into Elegant Dresses

ADVERTISEMENT

Jillian Owens is a Columbia SC- based writer and designer who decided to promote a different look into contemporary fashion. Facing some financial difficulties and feeling uneasy about the fast fashion of these days, she marched the second-hand shops to buy cheap, old, but promising clothes and started transforming them into chic new dresses.

A few years ago, I decided I wanted to change the way the world thinks about fashion,“ writes Owen in her blog. “I was worried about the impact on our planet as people tossed out their one-time-wear duds more and more quickly.

The project turned into a blog and a full-speed hobby in no time. With her stylish and creative works Owens promotes a truly inspiring idea that fashion can be ecological, ethical and cheap.

I joined Bored Panda as an image editor back in 2014, during its early stages. It's been quite a journey since then! Over time, I transitioned through different roles until I eventually became the Content Lead. In this position, I now oversee the creation of the viral content published here on Bored Panda. While my primary focus lies in raising awareness about important social issues like gender and race equality, as well as mental health topics, I also enjoy sharing lighter content, such as memes, cat images and intriguing world curiosities. Outside of work, you'll likely find me engaged in one of five activities: planning a vacation, browsing thrift stores, experimenting in the kitchen, watching movies, or spending quality time with my two cats.
