Aleisha Hughes
Hi, I'm Aleisha Hughes and specialise in printed textiles & fashion. Throughout my whole degree my passion for upcycling unwanted & second-hand clothing was always at the core of my projects, the majority of materials I sourced were second-hand. My final degree project, Upcycled Activism, focused on upcycling clothing and encouraging consumers to upcycle their own wardrobes & to shop with the future in mind. Upcycled Activism brings light to the issue of fashion waste through the use of interesting processes to upcycle clothing and the use of snappy slogans. These slogans I hope are memorable but most importantly, encouraging self-reflection of buying habits and inspiring change for anyone who sees my work. Back in 2020 I was awarded 3rd prize for a printed fashion item from the Bradford Textile Society, I hope to have just as much luck this year. My interests in careers are trends & buying, I do eventually want to create my own brand of upcycled clothing in the future.
