Michael Drummond
The repurposing and upscaling of scrap, discarded and vintage materials is typical of Michael Drummond designs. In an age where clothing proliferates retail stores, closets, and landfills, Drummond is working by the rules of ‘slow fashion’ – quality construction and making meaningful choices. According to Drummond, “I just make sure I don't make something common, and then I don't feel guilty about our consumer culture.”
