Janelle Abbott, artist and designer behind JRAT Zero Waste, set out to create an exclusive small-run capsule collection for Bungee Space, only to have the project fall apart at the seams.

Conceptualized in collaboration with Bungee Space, the collection was to feature 7 monochromatic garments, made from reclaimed materials, which could all be worn simultaneously or individually. However, along the path of execution, one design decision after the next began to betray the project.

Join us on Thursday, February 12th for a presentation about the process of collaborative creation and learn why these garments ultimately are not for sale. Instead, Janelle will debut a limited edition, Bungee Space exclusive zine featuring hundreds of letters, in alphabetic order, culled from industrial t-shirt scraps.

Raised in her parents’ Seattle clothing factory, Janelle Abbott (JRAT) developed an early respect for the labor behind every stitch. After graduating from Parsons, she rejected corporate fashion, choosing a radically sustainable, zero-waste path. Through her brand JRAT and Wardrobe Therapy, she transforms discarded materials into rhythmic, layered, unapologetic garments. Her work merges activism, art, and performance—a form of labor solidarity, she exposes fast fashion’s farce through garment reclamation, reminding us that all garments are human artifacts.
