custom by zero waste daniel

from one-of-one clothing and performance looks to wedding attire, portraits, and special projects, zero waste daniel creates custom pieces in new york city using signature zero-waste techniques and materials that already exist.

weddings + occasion

custom wedding and occasion pieces are designed around the person wearing them. we create gowns, suiting, separates, accessories, and reworked heirloom pieces for ceremonies, receptions, and other meaningful events.

portraits + special projects

zero waste daniel’s signature textile portraits transform photographs and familiar faces into one-of-one works made from discarded materials. portrait commissions and special projects are developed individually based on concept, scale, materials, and intended use.

the custom process

custom projects begin with a conversation about the occasion, timeline, budget, fit, and creative direction. most custom projects require 6 to 8 weeks, while larger or more complex projects may require additional time. rush requests are considered based on availability. tell us what you’re looking for, when you need it, your approximate budget, and any ideas or references you’d like us to consider.
