Handy with a needle and thread? Cracks, holes, or other wear-and-tear in clothing may now be visibly repaired to be eco-friendly. 

A new fashion trend known as &quot;visible mending&quot; encourages us to<a href="https://www.lofficiel.co.uk/film-tv/worn-stories-netflix-new-april-film">&nbsp;not to throw away old items</a>&nbsp;immediately, but rather <a href="https://www.lofficiel.co.uk/Fashion/sustainable-fashion-brands-designers">recycle</a> and customize them. Refabricing old materials creates a colorful mix of colors and fabrics. You look at what is available and create with it. The result is an unpolished item with a high DIY score.

Anyone who can sew can take part in it. The technique is similar to the Japanese practice of Kintsugi in which broken crockery is repaired with gold-colored glue so that the cracks remain visible.

From Instagram to the high-fashion runway, upcycling and<a href="https://www.lofficiel.co.uk/beauty/wellness-beauty-hallstein-water">&nbsp;sustainability</a>&nbsp;is hotter than ever. Several fashion houses tinkered with fabrics. For example,<a href="https://www.lofficiel.co.uk/Fashion/loewe-knot-on-my-planet-collaboration-elephant-bag">&nbsp;Loewe</a>&nbsp;presented&nbsp; jackets and dresses made of multiple materials by&nbsp;<a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/men/gilbert-and-george-art-jonathan-anderson-designer-interview">Jonathan Anderson</a><a href="https://www.lofficiel.co.uk/Fashion/loewe-x-my-neighbor-totoro-the-new-capsule-collection">,</a> while&nbsp;Herm&egrave;s offered patchwork-like bomber jackets.

To execute it yourself, simply fix a hole in a garment with a<a href="https://www.lofficiel.co.uk/Fashion/how-to-style-patchwork-denim-jeans-trend-spring-summer"> patch</a> and supplement with colorful yarn if desired. You can also weave in the damage, sew a nice crochet over it, or emphasize the gap it by creating a colorful border around it. Elsewhere, you can camouflage a stain with a crochet or patch over it or with a colorful thread around it. Worn areas are reinforced with striking sewing stitches.
