trash-à-porter

Since the mid-90s GGrippo has been designing clothes, accessories and homewares exclusively with up-cycled materials out of their atelier in NYC: denim, sport teeshirts and discarded cashmere sweaters.
What started as an art project for White Columns Gallery, followed by the costumes for Lauren Hill's 1999 World Tour in collaboration with Levi's and later the opening of NYDESIGNROOM in Brooklyn to fabricate and sell under the name "trash-à-porter", became a seasonal collection sold from Barneys NY to upscale boutiques in Tokyo's Omotesando.

Although the collection is not seasonally designed for wholesale any longer due to GGrippo's  personal decision to focus on their Brooklyn store and gallery, one-of-a-kind original pieces are regularly made at the Williamsburg atelier to be shown and sold at GGrippo art+design on Grand St.
