Outside the Box Project
An upcycling project where participants or students are given raw materials, textile waste, or donations to use as resources, with these items taken from an assigned box.
They are then tasked with the challenge of designing and constructing a unique article of clothing from these materials.
This project encourages creativity, sustainability, and resourcefulness, as participants transform discarded or unused items into fashionable and innovative garments.
The Mission
Join sustainable fashion pioneer Bridgett Artise, founder of Sustainable Fashion Week US, a renowned expert with over 20 years of experience, for a transformative course on upcycling. This program offers students a hands-on opportunity to explore the art and science of sustainable fashion through an innovative upcycling project. Participants will be provided with raw materials, textile waste, and donations, which are thoughtfully curated and placed in an assigned box, challenging students to think , "Outside the Box."
The primary project involves designing and reconstructing a unique article of clothing from these materials, encouraging creativity, sustainability, and resourcefulness. Bridgett Artise's expertise and passion for upcycling have garnered rave reviews from past students, including those from prestigious institutions such as ASU and IFA Paris. Her guidance and mentorship will inspire you to transform these discarded and unused items into fashionable and innovative garments, making a positive impact on the environment and the fashion industry.
