Gay bennett founder of Lived-In Clothes
I’m Gay – a repair artist, mentor, and educator working on the good side of the fashion industry. For over 20 years, I’ve helped people see the value in what already exists—repairing, reviving, and reimagining the clothes they wear. My work isn’t just about fixing garments; it’s about shifting mindsets.
Through visible mending, mentoring, and Sew Flow sessions, I guide others to embrace repair as both a skill and a form of presence. I also speak at events and collaborate with brands to challenge how we think about clothing, waste, and creativity—and to imagine new possibilities for fashion’s future.
