The Uniform Project

Brooklyn native Sheena Matheiken took on the Uniform Project earlier this year starting May 1st to see if she could wear one single dress every single day for an entire year, 365 different ways. The Uniform Project “is an online record of Matheiken’s daily attempts at reinventing an unvarying silhouette—distinguished only by a solitary pintuck pleat and buttons running down the back—as an exercise in sustainable fashion.”

The dress was custom designed by Eliza Starbuck that can be worn both ways. 7 identical dresses were created for Sheena to wear at least once every week.

Not only is Sheena trying to prove that she can do this, it also happens to be for a year long fundraiser for the Akanksha Foundation’s School Project, “which pays for uniforms and other educational expenses for children living in India’s slums.”
