While we know reworked fashion is here to stay, it continues to morph into the upcycled garments using base favourites that we know and love to evoke feelings of nostalgia. One brand that’s got this down to an art form is Caléchie!
Caléchie has taken creative licence from some of fashion’s iconic pieces such as the timberland boot, and reimagined it into a feminine heeled mule. Not satisfied with one jaw dropping design, the brand goes on to create “frozen” effect basketball shirts with a corset like structure.
The brand’s play with materials such as leather and cowhide, yield interesting results bound to captivate those who appreciate conversational pieces. You’re almost compelled to challenge them to create custom pieces using various material scraps as they clearly have a flair for recreational or experimentational design which result in these remarkable pieces that transform what once was. Taking on beloved favourites allows us as consumers to reimagine our wardrobe clichés into Caléchie!
