We’re going behind the scenes and to the dinner table with Melanie Wong. Founder of Meadow Land, Craigslist connoisseur, and costume designer for a traveling Stars Wars burlesque show - Mel has quite the resume. Add luxury brand designer and design student into the mix! When she’s not designing for others, Mel designs for the inner child. Taking preloved, intricately detailed tablecloths and transforming them into ethereal slips, camis, and more. This week, we’re digging deeper into Mel’s experience in both the luxury fashion and costume design worlds, use of tableware to upcycle, and exposing waste management strategies. Fashion students, theater kids, and Craigslist lovers - this one’s for you.
