BROOKLYN REHAB - ALYSSA ZYGMUNT
I spotted the magical wonders produced by Alyssa Zygmunt of BROOKLYNrehab not long ago and wanted to share her work with all of you who share her love for vintage reformed gems.
Getting to know Alyssa...
FAVOURITE:
SIGHT Blue Sky
SOUND Ocean Waves
SMELL Vanilla
TASTE Fermented grapes
WHAT DO YOU CREATE?
Art therapy for the craft minded. Handmade, vintage and found objects reclaimed and made new.
HOW DID YOU START DOING WHAT YOU DO?
I needed a creative outlet. I am a fashion designer but I work for a large company so I don't always recognize the end product after making so many compromises for time and cost. BROOKLYNrehab is my world where all my dreams come true. I can make whatever I want and hopefully other people like it too.
WHO/WHAT INSPIRES YOU?
Flea market finds/hidden treasures. Nature. Interesting textures. The aging process. Trips to new places.
WHO IS YOUR:
LIVING HERO
Hella Jongerius (of Droog design collective fame)
DEAD HERO
Eva Zeisel
WORST FASHION DISASTER
White paint splattered jumpsuit I wore as a child in the '80s. No wait, that is back in style!
FAVOURITE ALBUM IN ENTIRETY
Iron & Wine, Our Endless Numbered Days
LAST BOOK READ
Brooklyn Follies (READ IT)
FAVOURITE MEAL

QUOTATION
Don't take life too seriously.
