My Work




This project aimed to recycle denim jeans. I had to find a pattern with pieces of a limited size considering the width of a jeans' leg. I got my inspiration from an Alexander McQueen dress and designed the pattern by molding on a dressing form. The original model was blue but since the jeans featured slightly different coulours and were already faded, I decided to dye the dress in black. This upcycling left me with less than 5% scraps


Materials used : two old ripped jeans, white cotton poplin, jeans buttons, push buttons.
