Upstyled is a wholesale manufacturer that partners with brands to design upcycled garments with their pre-existing materials. Through an extensive sorting process, materials are grouped, deconstructed, and then reconstructed into new garments. Below is a pitch for a partnership with Anthropologie.
This was a group project in affiliation with 11Radius, "a membership organization that works with circular fashion brands and service partners to bring together front-edge practices in business models, technology, and human behavior to help solve industry circularity problems." As a team, we did a deep dive into upcycling practices in the apparel industry and determined a sustainable business model.
