Sav Riley (communally known as Designs by Sav) foregrounds a new perspective: to salvage and transform the future of denim, such as a pair of jeans, through the same labor it embodies. Factory Reset is a collection of streetwear fashion and textile explorations that reinvent the lifecycle of denim through sustainability.
Shop Designs by Sav, a special pop-up featuring one-of-a-kind upcycled apparel and accessories by exhibiting artist Sav Riley. Why shop? Why not! Explore wearable pieces that extend the ideas of Factory Reset beyond the gallery, and take home a unique work that celebrates creativity, sustainability, and personal style.
Let’s get scrappy! Using scrap denim from the exhibition Factory Reset play with the bits that are left and create something alternative and all your own – whether you twist, or tie, or glue, or knot the material, anything goes.
Sav Riley’s exhibition Factory Reset opens with a fashion show featuring an all-denim collection.
Inspired by Sav Riley’s upcycled, community-driven practice, we’re throwing a Double Denim Dance Party where the dress code is head-to-toe jean and the only rule is to move.
Pull-up and tuck-in your favourite Canadian tuxedo, hit the dance floor, and help us toast an exhibition that transforms discarded materials into something entirely blue. Good music, great fits, and plenty of indigo energy – see you on the dance floor!
