In a world increasingly aware of the impact of fast fashion, upcycled clothing is gaining serious momentum. But what exactly does “upcycled fashion” mean? And how do vintage textiles go from forgotten fabric to fresh, one-of-a-kind style statements?
As an upcycling designer, I’ve always been fascinated by the idea that something old can be transformed into a new piece of clothing. My process often starts with vintage textiles- fabrics with history, texture and character that you just don’t find I today’s mass-produced materials. I source them from second-hand shops, deadstock suppliers and old household linens.
For me, upcycled fashion is more than a trend-it’s a way to design with intention. Instead of creating from new materials, I work with what already exists, reimagining discarded pieces into one-of-a-kind garments that carry both style and story. Every piece I make is unique, shaped by the fabric’s past life and my vision for its future.
This approach is deeply rooted in my values: sustainable clothing, conscious production, and slow fashion. I aim to create pieces that are not just wearable, but responsible-reducing waste, minimising impact, and encouraging people to shop (and dress) with awareness.
If you're curious about eco-friendly style or exploring upcycled clothing, I hope my work can inspire you to see fashion differently—to value craftsmanship, creativity, and the beauty of reimagining what we already have.
