Repurposed garments are also known as upcycled clothing. This is the creative reuse of existing garments and the materials used to make them into entirely new designs with minimal application of new materials. It can be as simple as re-cutting a pair of jeans and making them into a skirt, or it can be as involved as taking several garments and putting them together to create something totally new.
Repurposing a garment allows you to incorporate something that is sentimental from your past into your current everyday life. SStyle has had the opportunity to work with numerous clients using their older items to create something new and current. Seeing the smiles with the memories and emotions they evoke is very special.
Restyling is about changing an existing garment with new details. For example, you can shorten a prom dress or bridesmaid’s gown into a cocktail dress with new details and use the excess fabric that has been cut off to create a scarf or a short matching cape. This example allows you to repurpose and restyle all at once!
