Upcycling / Repurposing
I’m using this page as a platform to promote buying secondhand clothing and modifying/ revamping clothing into something new.
Always looking for ways of utilizing common clothing items like suits, business shirts, and jeans and repurposing them into modern, fun, and creative directional fashion.
​
The Japanese art of Boro mending is a specialty of a fellow designer, Taralee Freeman, and men's jeans are perfect. Turning men's business shirts into a wrap shirt is doable - check out YouTube. Men's suits are frequently constructed from incredibly fine wool fabrics with detailed construction providing many opportunities to upcycle.
​
I look forward to sharing with you tips, photos, and ideas for upcycling / repurposing clothing to inspire and empower you to make eco-friendly responsible fashion choices, sometimes all it takes is to change the buttons on a jacket to make it current.
