I found a stained nature inspired print children's dress on the thrift shop and used it to upcycle a thrifted skinny jeans and polo shirt. I used the fabric to patch the company logo on the shirt and to widen the skinny jeans bottom part. I also turned a paisley printed skirt into a shoulder bag.
Every piece has a past, and this one is ready for a new adventure. Giving curtains and blankets a second life as your new favorite two-piece set. Inspired by countryside lifestyle. I use discarded Curtains, bedsheet blanket and (Red,Yellow and Blue) dresses sourced from a local thrift market( Kantamatu-Accra, Ghana ) Deconstructed and washed them to come up with this masterpiece.
Made from all men’s dress shirts following Paganoonoo’s Laura upcycle sewing tutorial. The skirt section is constructed of upside sleeves, with the cuffs along the waist. The bottom scalloped hem is the shoulder seam of each sleeve. I’m wearing an upcycled petticoat as the under layer.
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.
Woven Legacy transforms discarded denim into wearable art. The handwoven sando is made from denim side seams, the mermaid skirt is crafted from reclaimed denim waistbands, and the dramatic cape is assembled from denim patchwork. Every detail gives new life to textile waste, celebrating creativity, craftsmanship, and sustainability while proving that fashion can turn discarded materials into timeless couture.

"From the throne to the streets, from the past to the future." It embodies a vision of Contemporary Royalty, featuring a majestic silhouette, imposing detachable layers, and corsetry that evokes nobility. It reflects the memory of a lineage reborn through everyday textiles, transformed and elevated into haute couture.
