She's a designer and makes clothes for a living - using old clothes is better than using new clothes which require bleaching and other chemical/mechanical processes to make. Cheer up and stop being so jealous because she's successful! I don’t see what everyone has against this – all forms of recycling are good.

If it`s charity shops then none of the clothes would have ended up in landfill and she is not only taking money away from charities but turning but taking clothes away from people who use charity shops. Surely all of the clothes are one-offs...unless she is not being entirely honest about how "recycled" they are.Alot of charity shops already have designers working with them to update items. Frankly, this collection is so hideous that it is contributing to landfill, not taking away from it. I would agree that this has nore to do with Heather`s need to prove herself than with her compassion (I think she has a heart of stone, actually).

People give clothing to these shops so others can benefit from them. People who can't afford dept. stores, have a place to purchase what they need. Who is she serving by buying out these shops and creating one of a kind recycled clothes. In their orginal form, they are recycled and going to people who need them. Frankly, I feel this is a somewhat selfish idea. Not really surprised. Clothes given to charity shops are already being recycled by the act of giving.

Good clothes for interviews, for their jobs, school. etc. They would go directly to where there is a need. Heather doesn't need to be the middleman for this. Anyone out there, who has clothes they don't need, donate them directly. I'm really surprised at her lack of charity in this respect. Or maybe I shouldn't be surprised. a better idea for gently used clothes is to give them to people who need them.

Why not leave the clothes as they are and use them? She was at a polo match on LI recently. How on earth does that fit in with her vegan ramblings? Polo horses are treated like an asset or investment - not the way a horse should be treated. They go from a stable to a plane to a polo match over and over. She is a fraud.

If she wants to do something noteworthy just go to the back lot of one of the department stores and recycle all that clothing to goodwill. This woman is a serious nutcase and will do anything for publicity. Once again she is stealing others ideas and attempting to make them her own. And as someone pointed out, one of a kind designer clothing is not going to make a dent in any landfill. What a stupid idea.

Are there really that many designer clothes being tossed in the garbage? More likely they wind up in resale shops, consignment shops and ebay. Maybe even donating to real charities to sell and raise funds. And let's face it: those garments, be they sold by Heather or to the above locations, are going to wind up too worn to be used and will have to go somewhere for their final resting place. I would think re-selling designer goods under her brand would be illegal, anyway. How does recycling DESIGNER clothing help with reducing landfill?

She has to prove, by creating publicity anyway she can, that she is a "star". Delusions of grandeur.
