Upcycle/Redress Projects

Upcycling is the process of transforming waste material, by-products, or unwanted products into new products or materials for environmental value. The term Redress means to transform textile waste and to reduce the water pollution, chemical and carbon footprint the fashion industry has on the world’s environment.

The first ensemble is created from an out-dated prom dress. It was transformed into a new evening-wear ensemble featuring a blue beaded crop top, a black mini skirt and black knee-length skirt.

The second ensemble was upcycled from a long-sleeved white blouse and black floral maxi skirt, created into a short-sleeved blouse with button-back detailing and floral print shorts for a business-casual look.
