Darren Romanelli is no ordinary streetwear designer - he’s an ardent collaborator, stylish scavenger, and master of reconstruction. For over a decade, he’s been reinventing retro aesthetics and deadstock into T-shirts, upholstered chairs, even toys. For Gucci Continuum, he’s turned his limitless imagination loose, repurposing a range of the House’s heritage fabrics to create ultra-plush accent pieces for the home. In this episode, he shares his love for upcycling, collaborations, and his city, Los Angeles, offering a glimpse into his artistic imagination and the creative process that results in radically unique work.

The initiative invites noteworthy creators to integrate Gucci’s deadstock fabrics and previous-season pieces into their own idiosyncratic designs.

For Call of the Void, Winston Bradbury constructs eerie embroideries and upcycled appliqués, bestowing each of his pieces with its own enigmatic symbolism. In this episode, the two designers sit down with host Shahidha Bari to discuss their creative journeys and love for upcycling fashion.
