Check out these lesser-known upcycled labels at REFASH_'s pop-up today, a thoughtfully curated platform that brings together contemporary fashion products created from textile waste. fashion sustainable upcycling
Last month, the Swedish Fashion Council announced that they are cancelling Stockholm Fashion Week, which was due to begin in the last week of August. As the fashion industry is moving forward together to achieve future sustainable goals, the Swedish council believes that the traditional fashion week format ‘faces major challenges to meet the demands for sustainability, innovation, relevance and timing’.
When 29-year-old Akanksha Kaila Akashi stumbled upon the process of upcycling at a workshop, she realised how easy it was to re-love discarded garments and the concept of Refash was born. Akashi recalls, “After researching about the brands and designers who are creating upcycled products, I realised that there already numerous brands who are creating products out of waste.
There is a lot of online and on-ground research that helps them identify brands that have been dabbling in this space. “There are some labels that are almost 20 years old creating products out of waste and have never even used the term upcycling for it. Our first interaction with each brand helps us understand their story, their process, their products and who is behind it all.
