Personal Passion Project

Over this past summer in July of 2025 I decided to upcycle various plain clothing pieces by hand-stitching capiz shells to the garments to give them an extra sparkle and make them one of a kind. This idea sparked after I had a plain white bikini from a fashion show I was modeling in and decided to add a new design aspect to make the bikini less plain and something more "me" that I would rewear after the show. After upcycling this bikini I became obsessed with how unique and gorgeous the shells made the pieces, and I used the same technique to upcycle a shirt and dress to make a mini line of these upcycled items!! This was a project I just did for fun on my own, and I hope you enjoy the pieces as much as I do! <3
