The fashion designer Wilfried Pletzinger upcycles apparel.  This means he redesignes and upgrades existing garments.  He develops individual designs out of sportswear. – hand pickingthe original garment from vintage stores, or markets, he then unpicks the garmentand recreates something new.  He refuses to accept any inherent limits found in the original pieces’ patterns, forms, or material. Wilfried Peltzinger is fascinated by the challenge of developing something, glamorous and contemporary while drawing inspiration beyond just retro, vintage or copycat style. 

With his works he creates something unique by bringing the integrity of the fabrics to life in a new form.  Instead of offering fashion with a history Wilfried Pletzinger cuts history from individual parts and pieces.  He weaves them into a whole new story inviting the owner to add their own personal chapter.
