UPCYCLE ART:  Haute Fashion

While much of the world may not be at all familiar with the idea of upcycling as a way of life, the artistic community has long been a proponent of "something from nothing."  By creating works out of waste artists are showing the beauty that is present in the most mundane of things.  Their also saving money on costly supplies.  These individual efforts show how we can separate ourselves from the waste cycle and embrace the now profitable efforts that can exist alongside zero-waste living.
