Annika Sanders and Kerry Seager started buying secondhand men's suits in the early 1990s, and turned them into stylish, quirky womenswear. In 1997 they launched their fashion label, Junky Styling, and have since shown their recycled clothing collections at London and Paris fashion weeks. This tutorial, how to turn a pair of mens suit trousers into a top, is from their new book Junky Styling: Wardrobe Surgey, which features simple projects showing how to reconstruct your wardrobe.
