The line Upcycled by Miu Miu has collaborated with Levi Strauss & Co. to reimagine a selection of vintage denim clothing. Miu Miu put its recognizable pearls, crystals and floral embroidery on iconic Levi’s garments like men’s 501 jeans and original trucker jackets, masterfully creating a play between masculinity and femininity. Other than a pink Levi’s/Miu Miu branded tag fastened to each piece, no two items are the same. The looks are now available for purchase online at miumiu.com.

Amongst the finalists is Canadian jewellery designer Despo Sophocleous, who creates necklaces by interlocking wooden shapes. On the grand opening of the show on May 25, a winner will be announced and awarded a €50,000 prize.

Landfill turns to garments in the new Cycora by Ambercycle collection. The earth-friendly array was designed in Los Angeles by designer and sustainability advocate Madeleine Lyon and knitwear designer Jodi Lee, with the goal of showing consumers how interconnected our world is. How exactly are they doing this? By working with Ambercycle to convert end-of-life textile “waste” into new yarns which are then turned into clothes.

Each piece in the Cycora collection has its own unique scannable QR code, so you can follow your garment’s journey from beginning to when it’s bought.
