Upcycling fashion
There is nothing as beautiful as taking one's environment into consideration when jumping on fashion trends and this is something that fashion blogger, Winnie Ahupa, does so effortlessly.
The Abuja-based style enthusiast is big on upcycled fashion and we are totally here for the eco-friendly fashion lover!
This means that you're not seeking out new, raw materials to start from scratch. It means older clothes remain in circulation rather than heading to landfills.
And in Ahupa's case, it means household items can serve as amazing fashion accessories with the right design in mind.
