Behind his sewing machine at his Bushwick storefront, Daniel Silverstein, otherwise known as Zero Waste Daniel , sits in front of a cascading mountain of scraps delicately hung around him like its own art piece.
Silverstein, a designer who specializes in sustainable fashion, has owned his brand for a decade, weaving life into used fabrics. For a limited time this summer, the brand has collaborated on a collection for the 40th anniversary of the 1980s hit TV show The Golden Girls, a moment of fan adoration for Silverstein.
