We are aware that there have been previous projects using old garments and up-cycling them, however the main focus has always seemed to be sustainability and the environment. For example, for Rebecca Earley's Top 100 - Collecting and Remaking 100 Shirts project (done for Textile Environment Design) she sourced polyester blouses from charity shops and reworked them with print. (See images above).
Our main goal with our mini collection is to create pieces that are visually appealing and relate to current and future fashion trends straight from the catwalk. We hope the our collection will not be overshadowed by the recycling element involved and will instead stand in its own right as something beautiful and well made, but with a history.
