By transforming a traditional denim piece into a contemporary and fashionable garment, the “Jeans to Top” case study proves the creative potential of upcycling in regeneration of discarded garments. This practical example emphasizes the dual benefit of upcycling—reducing textile waste and the development of new garments through design techniques. As the fashion industry increasingly embraces such practices, this study not only addresses environmental concerns but also strengthens the way for a more responsible and imaginative approach to fashion production and consumption. The “Jeans to Top” case study serves as a tangible example of the positive impact that upcycling can have into the transformation of fashion into a new sustainable and circular industry. The methodology of this paper is based on a qualitative approach. A straight reflection of the transformation process enhanced a practical dimension to this study, through data compilation by document exploration. This study contributes to a larger understanding of the ramifications and benefits of upcycling in the fashion industry.
