Upcycled Glam – “Jem Revival”

Fashion

Year: 2025
Medium: Upcycled textiles — cotton pinstripe shirt, lace bra, denim jeans, lace appliqué, rhinestones
Size: Variable (wearable garment)

Upcycled Glam – “Jem Revival” reimagines 1980s glam through a sustainable, modern perspective. Inspired by Jem and the Holograms, deconstructed and reconstructed thrifted garments to create a bold yet balanced silhouette. A cropped pinstripe shirt paired with lace detailing and flipped denim embodies the fusion of femininity and edge. Designed and produced during the Istituto Marangoni Miami Summer Fashion Intensive, the project celebrates upcycling as creative reinvention, merging nostalgia, sustainability, and personal style into a single expressive look.
