Upcycling: Re-imagining Our Waste: Upcycled Fashion

In the fashion world, Upcycling is not just functional, it's stylish too.  As more and more designers re-examine their manufacturing processes many move towards upcycling, finding ways to take those old clothes, or old fabrics, and create something beautiful.  Some are even going as far as to re-imagine the way we make clothes, searching out more re-useable materials.  The great thing about upcycled fashion is that it represents both sides of the upcycled coin: the large scale systems changing how things are made and re-designing the fashion industry, and the indivdual user taking the initiative to upcycle their life, one outfit at a time.  Here's some of whats out there.
