Garments unveiled as part of the range included a GBP510 jumpsuit, from E.L.V. DENIM, which was made from upcycled denim and leather scraps.

Designer Richard Quinn created a blue and white floral pattern reflective of his signature style, which was printed directly onto recycled airbag fabric crafted into a GBP1,120 fitted corset.

A GBP780 Fuji Technical Vest, made by Public School, is composed of discarded seatbelt webbing and airbag material.

And pushBUTTON created a GBP540 work vest made from waste airbag materials.

For the event, Alighieri created a collection of necklaces, chokers, bracelets and other items created with repurposed seatbelts, car glass and foam materials, as well as gold, silver, bronze and freshwater pearls. Prices for the Alighieri range started from GBP195.

All revenue from the sale of the goods unveiled at Selfridges will be donated to the British Fashion Council's Institute of Positive Fashion, which supports global designers and the fashion industry to become more sustainable.

At Hyundai Motor, we understand that ethical consumption and caring for the environment are increasingly important considerations of our customers in the post COVID-19 world. Through Re:Style 2020 we want to offer another way Hyundai Motor can help customers enjoy the sustainable lifestyle they aspire to. By demonstrating that discarded resources can be reimagined into valuable products, Hyundai Motor encourages more industries to see waste as a recreative opportunity and to work collaboratively toward an environmentally accountable and economically efficient future.
