Limitations and
Challenges
There were resources that we did find that we’re
specifically supporting our planned product such as
denim clothing that we are able to find and donate.

The resources me and my team
will provide will match the needs
of the peer Draping class since it
is a fashion designer team and
we will be providing resources
for upcycling fashion.

Summary
The biggest take away to
take from the information
we have gave is being
able to take new and old
materials used in clothing
to create different styles.
Reducing waist is the main focus;
therefore, it is part of the practice of
conserving resources.

It is also important to include that upcyclying fashion is another way to express
individuality
And it gives new perspective to those who want to maintain a form
of expression by wearing what they’d like while still allowing to
contribute in recu long as much as possible, which is very
important.
To conclude, the up cycling fashion
consists of taking garments to
incorporate more styles that can be
used in a daily basis.
Furthermore, the understanding
how up cycling fashion allows for
more uniqueness in fashion wear and
reduces need for more production
companies have to produce in
factories.
