Artist-Crafted Upcycled Fashion Collections

The challenge is enormous

While many brands are embracing the trend of upcycled fashion collections in order to appear sustainably conscious to their consumer base, individuals are beginning to look for more unique garment options. This is where artists come in. Some creatives are taking on the fashion industry with one-of-a-kind garments. One such artist is Noel Mercado who recently debuted the Earth Tones capsule.

The upcycled fashion collection by Noel Mercado is meticulously handcrafted by him. The artist harnessed his skills in repurposing and reworking materials. Throughout the range of offerings, individuals may glimpse the strategic uses of vintage and scrap fabrics.

Some stand-outs in Noel Mercado's Earth Tone line include the Belgian army jacket made from a painter's tarp and a Matisse-inspired short-sleeve button-up shirt.
