Designer Julionne Long isn’t walking only in silk or sequins—she’s hitting the New York Fashion Week runway with newspapers, bottle caps, and even a 10-pound skirt made from spoons. For the Fayetteville, North Carolina native, sustainability isn’t a trend; it’s the foundation of her eco-friendly fashion brand,Realizing Infinite Possibilities (R.I.P) Designs.
The 32-year-old creative is debuting her collection with a mission: to show that sustainability and high fashion can go hand in hand.
Long embraces innovation and elegance through garments and materials she finds at home—everything from newspapers to trash bags—ensuring every creation is one-of-a-kind.
“It’s cool to show everyone that everyday items that you can throw out into the trash, [are] not always trash… Like trash can be beautiful as well,” Long told MadameNoire.
