Upcycled Outerwear Vol. II

Upcycled Outerwear Vol. II

By Ileana León

The wind told me so

August 15, 2025

 

This is Estudio 1999's second collection of upcycled outerwear.

An exploration based on existing pieces: coats, jackets, and vests. In this volume, the process is guided by the wind and romanticism—not as ornamentation, but as a gesture.

 

The wind appears as movement, as something that brushes against, displaces, and transforms without imposing itself. The silhouettes soften, and the forms shift. 


As in previous volumes, the pieces are worked on one by one. There is no exact repetition. Each transformation is an exercise in observation and listening, where technique coexists with intuition.
