Transforming Old Sneakers into a Custom Vest (4 Step DIY) | GQ

In episode 1 of 'The Most Interesting Designers in the World,' we meet designer Nicole McLaughlin. Over the last few years, she has ascended to the top of the upcycling world, with fans including John Mayer, SZA and Tom Sachs. We stopped by her studio and asked her to upcycle something for us. We were not disappointed with the result.

She’s gotta be one of my favorite artists

[@FlashFocused]

Whoever did the edit and music for this video deserves a raise GQ

[@andyespinal78]

Stop trying to give yourself a raise 😂 we all know you made a KZbin account with a random name and make this comment.

A shoe vest..that’s art within itself. Imagine this with certain Jordan pieces..man oh man.

[@johnspic7414]

Just looked it up. The name is "Ache" by FKA Twigs

[@Nomadic-]

Shoes made in child labor sweat shops sold for thousands of times more profit than cost, then used to manipulate you and anyone else who doesn’t know any better into buying more and you people call it art lmao

[@hellphoenix8622]

If i started cutting up my old shoes, my mom's would start cutting me up!

[@Nomadic-]

Bold is definitely the right word to use. It grows on me the more I look at it but it’s definitely something I would put on a wall rather than wear it

[@FlashFocused]

This is so dope.

For everyone worrying about your future and plans , here’s a quick verse - “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” Jeremiah 29:11 💫 Don’t give up on God, cause he won’t give up on you. He is working in so many different ways. Don’t forget that you are loved and Jesus is coming soon ❤️

If sewing shoes onto a perfectly good vest is "making a vest", then throwing rolls of toilet paper into a tree equals "making a tree".

Investing in crypto now should be in every wise individual's life plan , in some months time you'll be ecstatic with the decision you made today.

I wanted to trade Crypto but got discouraged by the fluctuations in price,

[@pinned.bycryptocrown5776]

@@jenniferben1113 @prosper That won't bother you if you trade with a professional like Mr James Gregg.

[@pinned.by.safemoonjoe4571]

My first investment with Mr James Gregg earned me profit of over $25,530 US dollars, and ever since then he has been delivering

[@beaufrancois8781]

He has really made a good name for himself

[@c8_swapp49]

She is *NOT* a designer ,cutting up shoes and glueing some parts together doesn't make you a designer. Who tf would ever think 🤔 " I want a vest made out of sneakers"

[@Felix-pr1vl]

Idk not my taste
