Georgia Wenig

Collection
Image: CAMP IS A COLLECTION MADE ENTIRELY FROM SECONDHAND MATERIALS. IT’S ABOUT MAKING USE OF WHAT’S ALREADY IN FRONT OF US. FOR ME, SUSTAINABILITY ISN’T A SHALLOW SELLING POINT—IT’S INSTINCTUAL. BY THEAGE OF FOUR, I’D LEARNED TO COMPOST AND WOULD SCOLD MY MOM FOR LEAVING THEFAUCET RUNNING. BY SIX, I CONSIDERED JANE GOODALL OF HIGHER STATURE THAN HANNAH MONTANA. ENVIRONMENTAL AWARENESS WAS PART OF MY UPBRINGING, BUT ALSO SPARKED A DEEP ANXIETY THAT NEVER LEFT ME.I RETAUGHT MYSELF HOW TO SEW DURING THE COVID LOCKDOWNS. THE ONLY AVAILABLE MATERIALS WERE SECONDHAND—THRIFTED CLOTHES AND UNCONVENTIONAL ITEMS LIKE HARDWARE STORE JUNK. I HADN’T REALIZED IT AT THE TIME—BUT RESOURCEFULNESS BECAME A KEY FACTOR OF MY CREATIVE PROCESS, IT IS A DRIVING FORCE.

Bio

Georgia Wenig is a menswear designer who believes critique doesn’t have to be grim. With a sharp eye for detail and even sharper dry humor, she uses secondhand materials to create designs that are as playful as they are pointed. Raised composting and idolizing Jane Goodall, sustainability is second nature—not a branding strategy. Her work leans into resourcefulness, built from thrifted clothes and hardware store junk. But Georgia’s vision reaches beyond fashion—she’s obsessed with world-building, crafting immersive, layered experiences that surround and absorb. Clothes are just one piece of the bigger, more immersive stories she’s determined to tell.
