How to Convert a Vintage Suit | CONVERTED CLOSET | Ethical Fashion

In Episode 1 of Converted Closet, I showcase how to convert Victoria’s 1970s retro YSL velvet suit into a cool, sporty new outfit.

Victoria, an ultra cool 1990s fashion designer, inherited her grandmother’s collection of incredible vintage couture clothes. Buried in one of Granny’s suitcases we found a fabulous 1970s Yves Saint Laurent velvet suit with mega conversion potential.

Rather than it never being worn ever again and heading for Destination Landfill eventually, we decided to supercycle it into something Victoria would wear over and over again, in different ways, and get loads of use out of! The sentimental value was already built-in, we just had to tweak it to cool it up and fit her.
