ELEMENTUM: Revolutionarily Simple Clothes

By on February 9, 2011

Elementum is a clothing line that is revolutionarily simple. Designer, Daniela Pais takes zero-waste to its simplest form with a single piece of cloth and minimal cuts. Not only zero-waste, but also sustainable, the fabric is 100% cotton jersey made from pre-consumer waste fiber!

The idea of clothing is reduced to its simplest form, just a tube of cloth with strategically placed cuts, yet creates a line of clothing that is remarkably versatile.

“Elementum invites you to develop new perspectives about your body, identity expression and consumption” encouraging you to experiment.

I have been trying to slow down my consumption in keeping with the Slow Fashion Movement.  I buy vintage, sustainable, and always choose quality over quantity.  The Elementum line is really exciting for me because of the versitility!  Just one piece by Elementum can be worn as a shirt, a dress, a shrug, a hoodie, a poncho, a scarf, or a skirt. They are great layering pieces and are super-comfortable!

The best part is that such amazingly versatile clothes are only €42 to €96 at Elementum.com.
