For one day only, Alterist invites you to their live piercing studio. Bring your jacket, hat, or favourite piece and watch it be transformed in-store with piercing-inspired detailing by designers KABO and MINSKI. Or get yourself some tooth gems from Tooth Gem Cutie.Born from punk and the underground subcultures that challenged the status quo, piercing has long been a symbol of rebellion, individuality, and self-expression. Now, it’s being stitched into fashion in a way that reclaims and redefines the garments you already own.Reject fast fashion. Choose creativity. Come down and create something you love into one-of-a-kind, wearable art.<h2> </h2>Alterist Alterist is a platform built on creativity, collaboration, and circular fashion.Each year, 100 billion pieces of clothing are produced, yet less than 1% is recycled into new clothing. The majority ends up in landfills, incinerated, or left unworn. Rather than increasing the volume of new goods, Alterist focuses on repurposing what already exists.Their online marketplace connects a growing network of 130 upcycle designers across the UK and EU, transforming surplus and discarded materials into unique, high-value upcycled fashion pieces. Beyond the marketplace, Alterist facilitates brand collaborations, partnering with businesses, manufacturers, and charity stores to creatively repurpose excess stock. From concept to creation, Alterist brings together designers and collaborators to extend the lifespan of textiles, measure their environmental impact, and turn waste into a story of transformation.Committed to reshaping fashion culture, Alterist hosts community events, workshops, and campaigns that celebrate creativity and craftsmanship. By redefining perceptions of textile waste, Alterist is not just changing how fashion is made—but how it is valued.
