We recently collaborated in groups to up-cycle clothing from Oxfam to be re-sold there. Our trend was 'A Mechanical Unity' - a combination of Tribal and Biker Styling inspirations. Focusing on vibrant colours, geometrics and origami, a bold silhouette and embellishing detail we re-generated the following clothing into two up-cycled garments.
Original Clothes
Jersey top used to line trouser pockets
Ski salopettes - lining used to create quilted back area of jacket
Waistband/ Fastening details - Buckle and buttons
Zips on pockets
Fly front with zip and buttons and black waterproof inner
lining later quilted in a repeat diamond pattern
Pink joggers dyed slightly darker and made into more fitted leggings
Beaded top - beads removed and sewn onto jacket to create biker emblem
Tie used as a binding on the bottom of the jacket
Leather from bag inserted as a horizontal panel in the back of the trousers
Final Garments
