From Discardedโฃ to Dazzling: seoul Exhibition Showcases the Power of Upcycled Fashion & Community
Seoul, South Korea – A powerful message of sustainability and intergenerational connection is taking center stage at the Hello Museum in Seongsu-dong, Seoul. The Beautiful Store’s ‘Mesh Project 2025’ exhibition, running until November 7th, is breathing new life into 2,500 donated items, transformingโ them into stunning works of art and wearable fashion.
The exhibition โofficially launched onโข October 17th with a captivating fashion show featuring approximately 20 seniorโ models. These models, students from the Korea fashion Artists Association (W Team), showcased upcycled garments crafted by students at the Fashion Beauty Style School โฃof Chungkang University โคofโ Culture and Industry. Old jackets andโฃ jeans were skillfully reconstructed into modern, eye-catching โคdesigns – floral pants, denim โjackets, frilly skirts,โ and sleeveless โฃvestsโข – proving that discarded materials โcan have a vibrant second โขlife.

But ‘Mesh Project 2025’ is more than โjust a โfashion statement.โ It’s โฃrooted in the Beautifulโค Store’s core philosophy: “we are all responsible for each other’s lives.” The project’s name, “Mesh,” symbolizes the interconnectedness of our responsibilities – not only to one โคanother but also to the planet.
What sets this exhibition apart is its commitment to a truly circular economy. Unlike many environmental and โupcycling displays, all โ theโค materials used are sourced from donations made โคby citizens to theโ Seoul netko Center. And the cycle doesn’t endโฃ with the exhibition; at its conclusion, the artworks will be dismantled and the materials recirculated forโข future projects.
Visitors will have the chance to purchaseโค pieces โฃfrom the โฃfashion show at a flea market held in the helloโ Museum courtyard โfrom October 24th to 26th.
‘Mesh Project 2025’ is a compelling demonstration of howโฃ creativity, community, and conscious consumption can converge to create a moreโ enduringโ future. It’s โฃa must-see for anyone interested in fashion, environmentalism, โคor the power of collective action.
