We have a hot, new trend which has begun in the ready-to-wear (clothing design) industry and is rapidly moving into our home furnishings area. It is called <\/span>UPCYCLING!\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

Designers are reworking old, used, or leftover fabrics into new styles of designer clothing and home furnishings. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Upcycling often requires labor-intensive and time-consuming reconstruction and piecing together which adds to the cost. \u201cIt actually requires more creativity and \u2018out of the box\u2019 thinking to re-imagine an existing item and create something spectacular from it\u201d explains a professor at Fashion Institute of Technology in New York. \u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Polo Ralph Lauren, Missoni, Victor and Rolf, are among some of the designer labels that are upcycling vintage fabrics. Many seasonal runway shows include these newly created designs as limited editions. The purpose is to extend the life of fabrics and clothing that might otherwise be discarded in landfills. \u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Many designers are repurposing second-hand clothing creating a luxury one of a kind look with upcycling.
\nWhy is this so important?
\nFashion and Home Furnishing trends change very quickly and many of the unwanted pieces end up in the landfill\u2026..Upcycling is great for our environment!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

As one designer put it, \u201cWe feel strongly about this approach. To create something beautiful from older or unused pieces makes sense with all of our ecological problems. Designers are now taking various fabrics in creative and ingenious ways to create new designer looks.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
