We are an immigrant-female run fashion upcycling project. Therapy is a research in identity and self-expression through the creative reuse of materials.
Therapy was born in Berlin in 2012 and it is run by two sisters separated by the Atlantic Ocean and united by this passion: Angie and Poli Aguirre, based in Berlin/Germany and Cordoba/Argentina.
We work at two locations sourcing materials locally and producing only upcycled clothing and accessories.
We produce unique items and small series beyond trends and genders.
We are women. We are latinas. We are immigrants. We are sisters. From this corner of our existence we work for a better fashion and a better world
WHAT WE DO
- We sell and rent our unique upcycling design
- We offer workshops for individuals and groups
- We offer upcycling services and solutions for companies and organisations
WHAT IS FASHION FOR US
Fashion is inclusive creativity.
We promote creativity, authenticity and a fashion that represents and includes all human beings, respecting planet and animals.
We promote sex-positivity, body-positivity, diversity and inclusivity. We actively support and give visibility to the lgbtqia+ community and oppressed minorities like us, immigrants and specially immigrant women, trans people and people of colour.
We are critic towards hetero-normativity, patriarchy and consumerism.
We believe in a wider vision of beauty than the promoted by mainstream fashion and media.
Through our items, collections and photo shootings but also with our workshops, tutorials, shared ideas and open source processes we offer an alternative to fast fashion.
Fast Fashion is killing our planet. Fast fashion brands plagiarize new and independent designers.
From our point of view, conscious fashion can also be experimental, daring and playful. Alternative fashion can also be conscious and care for the planet.
OUR IMPACT
INTEXTER has concluded that reusing 1 kg of clothing saves 25 kg of CO2.
Considering the data in this report and our production in 2022, we came to the conclusion that our approximate CO2 savings in 2022 thanks to the reuse and re-circulation of 700 items, was about 8750 kilos. That is 8.75 tonnes.
