Although we are in trying times, difficult times like these have in the past resulted in innovation among the masses. While the world is on lockdown, people have more time to be creative and test out new ideas that they normally wouldn’t. Although we might all currently be sitting in bed cuddled up in our pajamas on our 5th straight hour of a Netflix binge, the times that come after this will feel like no other.
When it comes to the fashion industry, the impact of COVID-19 is unpredictable. That being said, these times are extremely hard on retailers and this has already become apparent with several global store closures. Despite these hard times, the outcome of the COVID-19 on the fashion industry may be good, potentially resulting in innovation and new trends among consumers and designers.
Already with the extra spare time, people have been quick to hop on new fashion trends and at-home fashion DIYs. Over Tik-Tok especially we have seen a crazy upward trend of fashion videos and DIY fashion projects, such as the recent surge of tie-dye sweatsuits.
This new popular hobby of repurposing clothes that has come as a result of the pandemic could have great effects on the world. Repurposing clothes is great for the environment and also a great way to upscale your wardrobe while staying safe in your home.
Among the many people trying out this trend, popular influencer and YouTuber @LauraDiy (Lauren Riihimaki) posted a youtube tutorial of her tie-dying a bunch of items from her closet.
Check out her video here, and try some tie-dying at your home during this pandemic!
