Everest explores the opportunity of upcycling while focusing on balancing hiking elements with current street style. Upcycling presents a unique opportunity to extend a product’s lifespan and divert it from ending up in landfills. While upcycling isn’t providing at-scale solutions for waste management in the fashion industry, it has the ability to create unique and thoughtful garments at a small scale.
