Avevo in mente l&#8217;idea di rielaborare una giacca vintage Columbia, quindi sono andata su Depop per cercare il pezzo giusto. Ho finito per selezionare questa giacca particolare sia per il colore, sia per le doppie tasche sul petto, che potevano essere riproposte nelle scarpe come tasche di scorta&#8221;.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n<hr \/>\r\n<p><strong>English &#8211; Upcycling: the reuse of scraps, between art and practicality, by designer Nicole McLaughlin<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p>Nicole McLaughlin is a creative designer who, in addition to working for Reebok, makes shoes and clothes using waste materials. She began his career in sportswear while in college, and started designing with scraps after she wanted to venture out of graphic design.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\r\n<p>&#8220;I do try to reuse everything. My whole idea is taking things that people throw away, and if you can change the perspective of what it can be and how that can be upcycled. Anytime I cut stuff and have excess material, I save it and try to use it some other way&#8221;.<\/p>\r\n<\/blockquote>\r\n\r\n<p>Comfortable men&#8217;s slippers created from the pockets of a Polo Ralph Lauren shirt, sneaker made of badminton shuttlecocks, a balloon-shaped shoe made from deformed Warston tennis balls, a Nikon strap sandal and Ikea shoes.<\/p>\r\n<p>When the design of an item does not go as planned, she turns it into something else. &#8220;You have to be willing to explore and fail. And if you have an idea that you think is going to work, and it starts failing halfway through, change it&#8221;.<\/p>\r\n<p>McLaughlin&#8217;s philosophy could be invaluable for companies that often discard or burn wearable pieces because of the faulty design or because they remained unsold. &#8220;That is a huge problem, and everyone is finally becoming aware of those things. I think it needs to be done in an authentic way, not just, \u2018oh, recycle\u2019 and find something that is recycled and jack the price up on it because it says \u2018sustainable&#8217; &#8220;. McLaughlin&#8217;s creations are wearable.<\/p>\r\n<p>&#8220;I encourage people when looking at my projects to keep an open mind and not take it too seriously!&#8221;.<\/p>\r\n<p>Below are the photos of his creations and a video about the upcycling project carried out with Depop on the occasion of Earth Day. \u00a0&#8220;Instead of contributing more waste, I love to take these pieces, give them a new life, and challenge the perception of what \u2018reused\u2019 looks like. I had in my mind the idea of reworking a vintage Columbia jacket so I hopped on Depop to search for the right piece. I ended up selecting this particular jacket for both the color and the double chest pockets that could be repurposed in the booties as stash pockets&#8221;.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<ul class=\"wp-block-gallery

When the design of an item does not go as planned, she turns it into something else. &#8220;You have to be willing to explore and fail. And if you have an idea that you think is going to work, and it starts failing halfway through, change it&#8221;. McLaughlin&#8217;s philosophy could be invaluable for companies that often discard or burn wearable pieces because of the faulty design or because they remained unsold. &#8220;That is a huge problem, and everyone is finally becoming aware of those things. I think it needs to be done in an authentic way, not just, \u2018oh, recycle\u2019 and find something that is recycled and jack the price up on it because it says \u2018sustainable&#8217; &#8220;. McLaughlin&#8217;s creations are wearable. &#8220;I encourage people when looking at my projects to keep an open mind and not take it too seriously!&#8221;. Below are the photos of his creations and a video about the upcycling project carried out with Depop on the occasion of Earth Day. \u00a0&#8220;Instead of contributing more waste, I love to take these pieces, give them a new life, and challenge the perception of what \u2018reused\u2019 looks like. I had in my mind the idea of reworking a vintage Columbia jacket so I hopped on Depop to search for the right piece. I ended up selecting this particular jacket for both the color and the double chest pockets that could be repurposed in the booties as stash pockets&#8221;. &nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":13031,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[911,922,914,915,988],"tags":[1238,1379,1380,1381,1160,991],"class_list":["post-13029","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-artigianato-en","category-circular-economy-en","category-fashion-moda-en","category-handicraft-en","category-upcycling-en","tag-art-en","tag-design-sostenibile-en","tag-riuso-en","tag-sustainable-design-en","tag-sustainable-fashion-en","tag-upcycling-en"],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dress-ecode.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/nicole-mclaughlin-footwear-designboom-01.jpg","acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dress-ecode.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13029","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dress-ecode.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dress-ecode.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dress-ecode.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dress-ecode.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=13029"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/dress-ecode.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13029\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dress-ecode.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/13031"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dress-ecode.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=13029"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dress-ecode.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=13029"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dress-ecode.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=13029"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
