I’m Melanie. I’m a designer, storyteller, and lifelong lover of vintage. I’ve always been drawn to pieces that carry energy and memory, with a little bit of soul in every stitch. For almost twenty years, I’ve been running my shop, Retro Kandy Vintage. I’ve spent a lot of time searching for clothes that tell the truth about where they’ve been. Somewhere along the way, I realized I was trying to do the same thing with myself. I’ve worn many roles over the years as a business owner, artist, partner, and mother. Somewhere in the middle of all of that, I started to wonder which parts still felt like me. That’s where UNfashioned began. It’s my space to slow down, reflect, and talk honestly about what it means to let go of who you were so you can become who you really are. UNfashioned is where fashion meets feeling. It’s raw, personal, and the most honest work I’ve ever done. It’s about unraveling what doesn’t fit anymore and learning to rewear what was always real.

Naked In The Void

After the release comes the quiet. In this story, I talk about what happens when everything false falls away and you are left standing in the soft light of your own truth. It is the tender place between endings and beginnings.

Maybe being lost is not something to escape. Maybe it is the very place where you start finding your way back to who you are.
xo, Melanie

The Wardrobe Of Me

For this third story, I unravel the layers of identity I have dressed myself in. These are roles and costumes I have worn to feel safe, seen, or loved. It is about peeling back those layers and remembering who I am beneath them. It is the quiet reawakening that begins when I start to feel again. xo, Melanie

If this story helped you see the roles you have been wearing, let them gently unravel. Let the air touch your skin, and tell me what it brought up for you. I would love to hear.

Closet Clean-Out

In this story, I open the closet doors a little wider and step into the confusion and difficulty of what it means to let go. It’s not the kind of clean out that ends in perfect piles or color-coordinated rows. It’s the kind where fabric and memory blur together, where we sort through the stories we’ve been wearing and decide what still feels like truth against our skin.

If you’ve ever held on a little too long to something that no longer fits, this one is for you.

xo, Melanie

If this story helped you start to unravel what no longer fits, I’d love to hear from you.

The Things I Don't Fit Into Anymore

In this first episode, I open the closet doors to UN fashioned and begin unraveling the pieces of myself that no longer fit. It’s about release, reflection, and the quiet courage it takes for us to let go of what once looked right but never truly felt right.

xo, Melanie

If anything in this story helped you unravel a little, I’d love to hear from you.
