My first fashion show: The House of Resouled Wings🦋

This was such a special experience. I created these wings to complement the final looks from @octoberhousevintage! The show moved through a butterfly’s life cycle from egg to caterpillar to cocoon to BUTTERFLY🫶🏽

🦋: @resouledthreads
👗: @octoberhousevintage
📸: @gnarleybrown

Shoutout to all the incredible models who brought these looks to life!! (& an extra special shoutout to my beautiful mother who rocked the runway for the first time)

What a fun project for @octoberhousevintage’s ‘The House of Resouled Wings’ fashion show! Each of these wings were made from secondhand materials!

From torn slip dresses to stained table runners to snagged head scarves, the materials I used were truly brought back to life in this project! Those damaged pieces were reimagined into new beautiful creations🦋

ALL WINGS ARE FOR SALE! Check out my ‘Wings!’ story highlight for details or come see them in person @ my shop (I HIGHLY recommend - pics and videos just don’t do these amazing wings justice😻)

Local pickup only - these won’t ship easily (sorry anyone who’s not local😭) DM me with any questions or for additional info☺️

The Resouled Threads X Pixie Collab Project

Let us tell you about this fun collaborative project for the last @buffalofashionweek! Vallabh of @pixieclothingusa & Celeste of @resouledthreads teamed up to create some upcycled magic for the runway! Combining Vallabh’s sourcing expertise and Celeste’s sewing skills, the team was able to create six unique pieces from materials that would have otherwise gone to waste.

To explore more bold sustainable styles like the ones from this project, check out these two Buffalo-based small businesses making waves in the sustainable fashion world ♻️

This is girlhood.

We grabbed some funky fits, hit the park, and had a blast playing, laughing, & just being free🫶🏽

Hey party people👋🏼🪩🌞 I’d love to introduce you to the human behind this business!

My name is Celeste, and I’m the owner of Resouled Threads! My passions for sustainability, living creatively, and spreading joy all converged to create this business😎 Here’s a few things about me:
🎓I went to school for marketing
🌎I’m an OG Buffalonian - born & raised baby
🧚🏽‍♀️I’m 23 years old & started this biz when I was a senior in high school
🖍️I love creating in any form: drawing, crafting, cooking
🪩I’m an Aries, but I don’t know much about astrology
🦋I like rollerblading, puzzles, and slack lining
🌈I love kiddos (bring your littles by—I always have fun stickers!)

I think the first photo taken by @caitdeibelstudio captures me to a tee—disco ball helmet in hand and sun on my chest! I love wearing fun clothes almost as much as I love helping YOU all fill your closets with them!

It’s SO nice to formally meet you all! If you feel up to it, share something fun about yourself in the comments—I wanna get to know you all better too😎

THIS OR THAT?! I’m too obsessed with both to choose just one! Saving these handmade doilies brings me so much joy! They’re beautiful and someone definitely spent so much time creating them—they deserve a second life!

Denim Button-up (size M) - $38
Carhartt Pants (size 32x30) - $58
