YESTERDAY'S FUTURE
The brand's first collection unequivocally represents a novel approach to upcycling, crafted from vintage jeans.
Its novelty lies in re-evaluating the garment remaking process, as upcycling is quite stereotypical today. UPSLOWUSE has created well-tailored clothing featuring intricate, futuristic-feminine cuts. Crucially, all these collection elements can be replicated in unlimited quantities, allowing for scalability within the fashion industry.
Denim was chosen as the primary material for the collection because it is one of the most common and popular textiles globally. However, its production requires significant planetary resources and negatively impacts the environment.
The clothing in this collection is entirely eco-friendly, as it can also be fully recycled again.
Only high-quality denim with 100% cotton composition was selected for tailoring. Old cotton shirts were used as lining, and these will vary in color for each item.
It is known that cotton can now be recycled into new fabric or yarn, meaning these items can have a third life after use.
The collection is inspired by an individual's self-discovery, with each piece telling a specific story. Asymmetry and raw edges speak to imperfection yet uniqueness. The only symmetrical and perfectly finished element in the collection is the NISUS top. It embodies humanity's striving for perfection but reminds us that something far more interesting lies within each person. Thus, the top can be worn inside out, with the colored shirt facing upwards. Moreover, this shirt will be a different color in each item.
The INHERITANCE skirt is shaped like a cocoon, symbolizing the framework we genetically inherit from our ancestors, such as physiological data and appearance. However, the zipper allows for altering the skirt's cut and fit, symbolizing human power to be whoever they want, regardless of external factors.
The MEMORIES dress is based on the designer's childhood sketches, hence the naive symmetry. In childhood, we are simply ourselves, not who our parents, friends, or even we ourselves saw us to be. This speaks to the courage to simply exist, without societal judgment.
