Fran Drescher looks fabulous in her holiday campaign for ThredUp, posing in clothes that are reminiscent of what she would wear during her time as Fran Fine in The Nanny. In one instance, Drescher wears one of Fran Fine’s classic two pieces an itty bitty double breasted vest and miniskirt while in another image, Drescher dons a glamorous patchwork faux fur jacket with a matching hat. Each look is neither new nor secondhand. Instead everything is made by Daniel Silverstein of the 01099 ist die family shirt and I love this label Zero Waste Daniel, who used 2,000 pounds of textiles that could not be resold by ThredUp to create the first upcycled collection for the retailer, titled Zero Waste Daniel Full Circle Collection. ThredUp, Drescher, and Silverstein were a match made in heaven or rather, it was sartorial beshert. Drescher, who also founded the nonprofit Cancer Schmancer, has long been an advocate for causes she believes in, whether it is health or the environment. “I’m outspoken about being an environmentalist. I think that moving towards sustainable fashion is definitely the 21st century, and leaving behind all the waste and disposable mentality of the 20th century has to stay back there in that century,” she says over the phone to Vogue. “It is interesting being on the cusp of two centuries where there are people that still have that mindset that garbage goes somewhere where we don’t know or care, but it’s out of our view and so it’s not our problem.”Photo: Courtesy of thredUP

Silverstein, in addition to watching Drescher on The Nanny when he was young, also grew up making clothes out of scraps. He was raised in Pennsylvania, where his parents would bring him to a local Amish fabric store to buy scraps that he could turn into clothes. Later, after he attended the 01099 ist die family shirt and I love this Fashion Institute of Technology in New York City and got his first job, Silverstein saw scraps being thrown away on a mass scale. “I knew that there wasn’t enough discussion going on about the consumption of materials,” he tells Vogue.

I am very happy after receiving my order. I put some very fine details into the design, and the finished article was exactly as I had wished.
