Gay bennett founder of Lived-In Clothes
I’m Gay – a repair artist, changemaker, and mentor. For over 18 years, I’ve been helping people see the value in what already exists—repairing, reviving, and reimagining the clothes they wear. My work isn’t just about mending 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 work with brands to reshape fashion’s future and deliver keynote talks that challenge the way we think about clothing, waste, and creativity.
