Closet Remix

About

Built in Doncaster, by a maker who's been at this a while.

Closet Remix is a UK-based, sustainability-first personal styling app for iOS and Android that helps people get more from the clothes they already own — through outfit planning, capsule building, colour analysis, and real per-wear sustainability metrics. It was built by Estelle Pearce, founder of Fashion Fusion CIC, a community interest company in Doncaster, South Yorkshire.

The mission is specific: reduce fashion waste by helping people use what they own. The average UK adult owns 118 items of clothing, around a quarter of which have not been worn in the past year (WRAP, Citizen Insights, 2022). Closet Remix turns those forgotten pieces into outfits, and shows the CO₂, water and cost-per-wear saved each time you rewear instead of buy. The app is organised around four sections — SOUL Style (your colours, aesthetics and styling identity), Your Impact (per-wear sustainability metrics), Item Lifecycle (each garment from first wear to last), and Moments (the memories and milestones in your wardrobe). Available on the App Store and Google Play in 58 countries. Free to download.

The founder

"I spent 16 years working inside the fashion industry — at Next, Monsoon, Jaeger — and I didn't truly understand the damage it was doing. That moment of realisation stopped me. If I didn't know, after all those years, how could anyone outside it? Fashion Fusion came from that question. Closet Remix came from the same place — but this time I wanted to build something that could reach beyond every room I could ever walk into."— Estelle Pearce, Founder

Built by Estelle Pearce, founder of Fashion Fusion CIC, a community interest company in Doncaster working with young people and communities on sustainability, creativity and fashion.

Estelle has spent her working life inside the fashion industry — as a designer, pattern cutter, lecturer, maker, researcher and community organiser. She's worked with high-street brands and with women learning to sew their first hem in a Doncaster community hall. Both still inform every decision she makes about Closet Remix.

Her academic work on digital fashion — completed 2021–2022 — became the technical spine of the app: seven styling systems that don't lean on generic AI, but on peer-reviewed sustainability research, the FFIT body shape system from North Carolina State University, and the Sci/ART 12-season colour method.

She teaches as well as builds. From October 2026 she joins Leeds Arts University as Senior Lecturer on the MA Fashion — the same course she studied for her own MA in Digital Fashion. On 24 September 2026 she speaks on two discussion panels at Wear It Again: Fashion, Community and Circular Style, at the University of Salford — where she took her BA in Fashion.

Her TEDx talk and her natural-dyeing practice — the work that became The Album Project and the red-dress series — connect the digital app back to a slower, older truth: clothes are made of plants, water, time and people. Closet Remix is built to honour that.

Sixteen years, abridged

The long way here.

2008

BA (Hons) Fashion

Graduated and went straight into the fashion industry — the start of sixteen years designing and pattern cutting, alongside lecturing, and learning where the industry breaks.

2008 → 2021

Fashion industry, the inside view

Working with brands across the UK as designer and maker — learning, eventually, why the industry's sustainability problem is structural, not stylistic.

2021 → 2022

MA in Digital Fashion

Where the app stopped being a hunch and became a research project — body-shape engines, colour-analysis logic, and the WRAP & Kering data behind every CO₂ figure in the app.

2022

Fashion Fusion CIC founded

A Community Interest Company built in Doncaster to teach garment skills, run repair workshops, and advocate for circular fashion in South Yorkshire.

2023 → 2024

Roots to Renewal & The Album Project

Natural-dyeing programme using food waste — avocado pits, onion skins, pomegranate. The red dress and red jacket series taught us colour can grow on a kitchen counter.

TEDx Doncaster

From Tradition to Innovation — a fifteen-minute case for taking your own wardrobe seriously as memory, as material, and as maths. Watch the talk →

The vehicle

Fashion Fusion CIC.

Closet Remix is published by Fashion Fusion CIC — a Community Interest Company (registered № 14394719) built to teach, repair, and rebuild fashion's relationship with the high street, the household, and the soil.

As a CIC, our profits and assets are committed to community benefit. A share of Closet Remix revenue is committed to supporting community work — clothes swaps, repair sessions and grassroots groups like Fashion Fusion CIC.

Our work aligns with six United Nations Sustainable Development Goals — 5, 10, 11, 12, 13 and 17 — embedded in the product and how the CIC operates, not bolted on. See the SDG alignment →
