Thanks to 50-plus donations, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.therealreal.com\/flash_sales\/recollection-01-6989\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">ReCollection 01<\/a> has repurposed cast-off accessories and ready-to-wear into a one-of-a-kind capsule. &#8220;As a designer, I think it\u2019s the biggest compliment for your designs to have an afterlife \u2013 to me, that is luxury,&#8221; said the eco-chic designer <a href=\"https:\/\/graziamagazine.com\/us\/articles\/stella-mccartney-fall-2021\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Stella McCartney<\/a>, who contributed a houndstooth-print blazer from her Fall 2017 runway collection and cropped cotton pants from Resort 2017.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-18781 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/graziamagazine.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2021\/04\/2-the-real-real.jpg\" alt=\"The RealReal\" width=\"2395\" height=\"3000\" data-gz_credit=\"Credit: Courtesy of The RealReal\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Such elusive pieces were given new life by <\/span><span class=\"s2\">the Los Angeles-based circular fashion initiative Atelier &amp; Repairs, which spent three months mending and re-imagining each item in a zero-waste process that employed no virgin fabrications. A large tear, for example, on a long-sleeved whipstitch Stella McCartney dress was repaired with rainbow hand stitching, while many other of the other donations (a Dries Van Noten button down; an Ulla Johnson dress-turned-tapestry; a Zero + Maria Cornejo off-the-shoulder number) were accented with scraps of unfinished vintage quilts. A<\/span><span class=\"s1\"> portion of the proceeds from the sale of each piece will be donated to One Tree Planted to support its global reforestation work.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-18794 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/graziamagazine.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2021\/04\/3-realreal.jpg\" alt=\"The RealReal\" width=\"2395\" height=\"3000\" data-gz_credit=\"Credit: Courtesy of The RealReal\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">&#8220;To have such a dynamic group of luxury brands join us for our first collection sends an incredibly powerful message about the importance of circularity and the opportunity we all have to support a more sustainable future for fashion,&#8221; said The RealReal founder and CEO Julie Wainwright, who launched the consignment site in 2011. &#8220;Our hope is that ReCollection will inspire people to think about the afterlife of what they own and embrace more conscious consumption.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-18795 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/graziamagazine.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2021\/04\/4-realreal.jpg\" alt=\"The RealReal\" width=\"2395\" height=\"3000\" data-gz_credit=\"Credit: Courtesy of The RealReal\" \/><\/p>\n<p><em>All products featured on GRAZIA are independently selected by our editors.
