Upcycled Trouser Cropped Jacket

Upcycled Trouser Cropped Jacket

A sculptural cropped jacket by Virginia Clemm, reconstructed from an original pair of trousers and transformed into an entirely new silhouette.

The jacket retains elements of the original garment, with the trouser waistband forming the front opening, complete with its original button, zipper, and belt loops. A boxy cropped body is contrasted by voluminous gathered sleeves, creating an exaggerated yet wearable shape.

Contrast topstitching and raw-edge detailing emphasize the reconstructed character, while a front tie at the hem allows the silhouette to be adjusted and styled in different ways.

Handcrafted in Berlin from upcycled materials, this piece celebrates visible construction, transformation, and experimental tailoring.
