Craft meets fashion design in the "99 Ways" series where Compai suggests easy, fashionable
ways to transform you wardrobe and give new life to old clothing.
"99 ways to Cut, Sew, Trim and Tie your T-shirt into Something Special" was originally self-published in Italy before being purchased by Random House. The next two titles, "99 Ways to cut, Sew, Tie and Deck Out Your Denim" and "99 Ways to Cut, Sew, Tie and Rock your Scarf" came out in 2007 and 2008, respectively. The authors create all designs, illustrations, layout and clothing items themselves, in true, DIY fashion.
The "99 Ways" Series has brought the recycled clothing movement to an international audience. With over 100,000 copies in circulation and people from LA to Tokyo sporting their own Compai designs, the books continue to inspire people all over the world to recycle their wardrobes!

 

Compai has worked in collaboration with author, Rachel Maude on "Poseur" (Poppy, 2008). Posuer is the first novel to ever come with sewing patterns for how-to fashion projects. Poseur was also printed in Germany under the title: "Trend Set, Das Perfekte Outfit" Compai designed projects as well as the cover for the German Edition.
