“Upcycling is rethinking waste through creativity”
I am using my 25 years of experience as a structural engineer to create a Zero Waste Design Studio in Los Angeles, California leading the movement that promotes circularity in fashion and expanding the concept to other disciplines. Ecological restoration of our natural world is the purpose behind my work.
My aim is to promote and educate in zero waste designs
I have started a new adventure joining the movement that promotes the restoration of our natural world.
Welcome to Fran Alcazar’s world, where creativity meets sustainability, and fashion merges seamlessly with a passion for the planet. As a zero-waste designer, I'm on a mission to redefine the fashion industry's norms, one upcycled piece at a time.
At the heart of my work lies a commitment to promoting zero-waste practices. By repurposing materials that would otherwise end up in landfills, I breathe new life into forgotten fabrics, transforming them into stunning, one-of-a-kind garments. Each piece tells a story of sustainability, reminding us that fashion can be both beautiful and mindful of the environment.
But my vision extends beyond the clothes themselves. I strive to foster a slow fashion community that values quality over quantity, and conscious consumption over fleeting trends. Together, we're building a movement that celebrates craftsmanship, sustainability, and individuality.
In addition to creating eco-conscious fashion, I'm passionate about advocating for a non-binary society. Through my designs and activism, I aim to challenge traditional notions of gender in fashion and promote inclusivity and diversity within the industry.
Join me on this journey towards a more sustainable, inclusive future. Together, we can make a difference—one stitch, one design, one person at a time. Welcome to the zero waste revolution.
“Upcycling is a weapon for this generation, not just a response to an aesthetic that seems to be liked, but also because it visualized the fact that we are treating our resources mindlessly and inefficiently.” Orsola De Castro
