Ghanaian fashion designer Larry J brings a message of sustainability to New Jersey

 


An international designer is in the Garden State this weekend to showcase his sustainable fashion line created with fabrics that may once have been in your donation pile.

Have you ever wondered what happens to the clothes you donate or place in donation bins? Although much of it goes to the charities that collect the clothes, much of it ends up being deemed unusable and likely ends up as trash overseas. Enter Ghanaian fashion designer Larry J.

“Growing up in a very poor neighborhood, we were used to seeing all these clothes in our landfills and also in bodies of water,” explains Larry J.

Larry J has been in the fashion industry since 2012, starting with accessories. In 2017, he pivoted to clothing, focusing on second-hand clothing. He says it’s more than just clothes. His fashion line repurposes clothing that would otherwise end up in landfills and waterways in his native Ghana.

“Launching the brand is not just about making clothes, but about making a change by reusing the waste we have in our immediate environment into something of value,” he says.

GreenAmerica.org reports that on average, 700,000 tons of used clothing are exported abroad. Countries like Ghana import 6,000 tons of used clothing each month from major brands and manufacturers in the United States and Europe. Larry J says little of it is usable.

“Most of the stuff they bring back there is about 40 percent good and 60 percent all trash,” he says.

In this coming-full-circle moment, designer Larry J is bringing his brand's message of sustainable processes to New Jersey where he will showcase his designs Friday evening at Beauty Bar by Camila Mello in Livingston.

“We just want people to be very conscious about their consumption. Instead of just donating, you have to be sure about where your clothes are going, and that makes you sustainable as an individual,” he says.
