Tega Akinola, with only 22 years and a degree from an undefined London college, has made a lot of talk in the world of streetwear for having transformed iconic garments of Nike and Patagonia brands into décollé or clutch bags.
But that’s not all, the young English woman also tries her hand creating sandals or fisherman hats made by recycling old white charging cables.
Tega is a true marvel of upcycling or creative recycling, a central theme in the world of fashion. This form of recycling, which literally means “better recycling“, is seen as an art form that fascinates many designers of the moment who are focused on sustainability.
As she states in an interview, Tega began to create and transform her garments because she did not have the financial resources to buy new ones and, encouraged by her seamstress mother, she tried to revive the pieces she already owned.
Her work has been developed mainly in the period of pandemic that England also had to face and some super interesting pieces came out.
The impact of Tega’s creations was very strong and led her to create mini-collections that can be purchased by the public, even attracting the attention of streetwear giants.
His pieces are available on the apoc-store.com.
