One-of-One Upcycled Designer Look | 3-Piece Set | Womens UK 4–12
A one-of-one circular fashion creation by designer Claire Cruz, created for ReMade: A Circular Design Challenge.
Glamping, Look 2 from Claire's Courtside Couture collection, combines festival practicality with Y2K sports styling through a reversible lace tank, pinstripe mini skirt and multi-pocket adjustable belt bag.
The wider Courtside Couture collection draws on 2000s sports chic and the way style icons including Rihanna and Aaliyah transformed jerseys into fashion statements. Pattern mixing, sequins and adjustable elements are central to Claire's approach, balancing glamour with functionality for a festival setting.
Look 2: Glamping was conceived around a simple idea: festival clothing can be comfortable and functional without sacrificing fashion.
The result is a coordinated three-piece look comprising an adjustable black lace and sequin tank, elasticated pinstripe mini skirt and an adjustable utility-style belt bag reconstructed with multiple denim pockets.
The pieces draw from the same donor-material palette used throughout Courtside Couture, which includes denim jeans, football jerseys, plaid and pinstripe shirts, ties and zebra-print sequins.
The statement tank combines sheer black floral lace with black sequins, finished with contrasting blue and yellow binding and adjustable spaghetti-style shoulder ties.
A key feature is its versatility: the top can be worn either backwards or forwards, allowing the wearer to choose between the blue or yellow-trimmed side at the front and changing the character of the piece.
A large “23” sequin appliqué brings the sports reference directly into the design, transforming an athletic number motif through embellishment and placing it within the collection's sports-meets-glamour aesthetic.
The adjustable shoulder ties allow the neckline and overall fit to be altered to suit the wearer.

A reconstructed navy pinstripe mini skirt designed to balance the decorative lace and sequins of the top with a more tailored sports-streetwear silhouette.
The skirt features an elasticated waistband, giving the piece flexibility and allowing it to accommodate a range of sizes. This adaptability reflects Claire's wider approach to the collection, where adjustable construction is used to extend the number of people able to wear each garment.
Contrasting flashes of yellow and reconstructed detailing connect the skirt visually to the rest of the Courtside Couture palette.
Measurements:
Perhaps the most functional element of Glamping is Claire's reinterpretation of the festival bag.
Instead of carrying a conventional handbag, the look incorporates an adjustable wraparound belt bag constructed with repurposed denim pockets and pinstripe fabric.
Multiple original pockets have been retained and repositioned around the belt, providing storage for festival essentials while becoming a major visual feature of the outfit. The combination of denim and tailored pinstripe creates another deliberate contrast between casual sportswear and traditional clothing construction.
The belt can be adjusted between 84cm and 102cm at the waist, allowing it to sit at different positions on the body and accommodate a range of wearers.
Measurements:
Glamping demonstrates one of the central principles behind Courtside Couture: the details already present in unwanted clothing can become the starting point for new design.
Across the collection, Claire uses deconstruction and panel-piecing while deliberately retaining original seams, buttons, pockets and other recognisable garment details, preserving both their visual identity and functionality.
Techniques used throughout the collection include:
Rather than hiding the previous life of the materials, the construction celebrates it. Claire describes the process as designing with a garment's original history rather than erasing it, turning existing pockets and fastenings into opportunities for new functions instead of waste.
Adaptability is integral to Glamping.
The lace tank uses adjustable shoulder ties and can be worn in either direction. The mini skirt has an elasticated waistband. The belt bag adjusts across an 84–102cm range. Together, these elements reduce dependence on a single conventional clothing size and allow the garments to work for different wearers.
This reflects Claire's wider circular design philosophy for Courtside Couture. She intentionally incorporated adjustable elements so that pieces could be shared or passed between different people and designed individual components to work separately as well as part of the complete outfit.
It is a practical interpretation of circular fashion: designing not only with existing materials, but for a longer and more flexible future life.
This is a unique, handmade circular design piece created from preloved donor garments. Characteristics inherited from the original clothing and materials form part of the garment's history and the intentional reconstructed aesthetic.
Sizing is approximate due to the adjustable nature of the design. Please use the measurements provided as the primary guide to fit.
