Display Copy (2020 — 2025) was a project of Studio At Large, the creative practice of Brynn Heminway.
Conceived as both an editorial platform and curated resale space, Display Copy advanced sustainable fashion through the lens of vintage, thrift, and upcycled garments.
Founded in 2020, the project operated as both a visual journal and curated marketplace, challenging dominant narratives around consumption, value, and taste.
Through its distinct editorial approach and archival sensibility, Display Copy aimed to reshape perceptions of secondhand fashion — not as nostalgic or compromising, but as innovative, expressive, and culturally vital.
The platform’s commercial operations formally concluded in 2025. The site remains online as an archive.
Display Copy is part of Brynn Heminway's broader body of work, which explores themes of memory, renewal, and the shifting semiotics of material culture.
