I found this Lelenga Choli, with a Dupatta wrap for $20 from a local Red Cross opshop. It was not in good condition so I fixed the rips and some unravelled embroidery, replaced sequins and upcycled it into a regency style gown for a Bridgerton Four Seasons themed Ball. I was Autumn 🍁 I used the Dupatta for the train and sleeves. The silk gold leaves on the sleeves were from an unfinished thrifted dress. The accessories included a drawstring bag from leftover fabric and I painted a thrifted fan gold to match. I found $15 thrifted red ballet flats, and borrowed a friend's gold gloves so a very cheap formal outfit that rescued something unwearable and transformed trash to treasure. And the Ladies of the Ton were suitably impressed! It may have even gotten a mention by Lady Whistledown :)
A vintage '70's top and a classic corduroy jacket. I replaced some parts of the corduroy and i saved some details of the top, like the georgious sleeves and the neckline with the lace. I found a bunch of buttons to match and also an applique and a broken brooch. And i used nailpolish on the spikes.
A collection of upcycled reimagined jackets. All have been modified in some way I love transforming a tired garment I to something that can be loved again. #thriftflip #upcyclers
Took two dresses from Goodwill and transformed them into one piece for a Fairytale Runway show. #wtu2026
This look is part of a collection inspired by the Oceanpunk and Steampunk aesthetics. Developed using the upcycling technique, it transforms discarded denim garments into a new design through the deconstruction and reconstruction of fabric panels. Representing the "Disaster, Tragedy, and Catastrophe" family, the piece reflects the impacts of overconsumption and environmental degradation while proposing a new perspective on sustainability, creativity, and innovation in fashion.
started with the bottom half of a pair of jeans. cut, reconstructed, and turned into this skirt. reflective stripes, vintage zippers from old projects, aros, lobster hooks - every detail has a past life. no new materials & no waste. just what was already here and made into something worth wearing again.
The "Eazy" Upcycled faux-leather jacket, a Reworked faux leather jacket I got many years ago together with an artist tour t-shirt I reworked, cut and sewed on the back of the jacket, and then adding recycled chains and pins to Up the look! Its my favorite series from many of my works!
My work is pure handmade denim upcycling — no machines, just intention, creativity, and soul in every stitch. Each piece is one of a kind, already finding its way across the world, worn by those who choose originality over the ordinary. If you feel the difference, you’re already part of it. Reach out and claim yours — become part of a community that wears stories, not trends.
