TINDER X SAMI miró

ExCycle

Editor: Regina Spurlock

What a crazy, fun, whirlwind of a job this was—working on a very tight deadline, combing through oodles of footage (some of it quite challenging) and editing 14 videos for this project, several of which are featured below.

First, 5 singletons brought in clothing that was gifted to them by an ex, belonged to an old flame, or perhaps just reminded them of a past relationship.

Then, upcycled-clothing designer Sami Miró ripped said items apart and stitched together something new and sexy from the scraps—how cathartic!

The singles—a DJ, a model, fashion editors and a stylist—shared their relationship tea and their preloved pieces with their thousands upon thousands of followers on Instagram.

It was super rewarding to see the “ExCycled” garments revealed and all of the videos received so well, both on Instagram and via a video installation at the interactive clothing swap event held in New York City.

Below is a case study of the project (also edited by me).
