CULTURE DRIVES CHANGE
Our mission is to reduce textile waste.
Through design, creativity, and collaboration, Alterist is altering the world’s perception of what is considered to be textile waste.
Alterist is a brand new circular platform defining the future of fashion.
OUR STORY
Alterist is more than an upcycle fashion marketplace, it is a community of brands, independent designers, artists and creatives who are revolutionising fashion culture to create a better future.
Curating a mix of high-quality upcycled fashion garments and accessories, each item on Alterist is one of a kind. Made from reimagined materials, each designer has a unique approach to upcycling creating iconic pieces that you cannot find anywhere else.
We want to create a space where you can participate in the world of fashion but through a more sustainable lens.
ALTERIST IS ABOUT ALTERING THE WORLDS’S PERCEPTION OF FASHION AND WHAT IS CONSIDERED TO BE TEXTILE WASTE.
IT IS ABOUT CHALLENGING THE SOCIAL NORMS.
IT IS ABOUT BEING EXPERIMENTAL WITH STYLE.
IT’s ABOUT ALTERED VISION.
OUR VALUES
Our core values are guided by our five key C's:
CREATIVITY
We fundamentally believe in the power of creativity and the vital role it plays in working towards an alternative fashion landscape. We believe it is through creativity we can shift the current societal view of what is considered waste to create real and meaningful impact.
CARE
Care is at the backbone of all of our decisions and future planning. We care for our team; we care for our planet, we care for our collaborators and only wish to work with people who share these same goals. We strive to always choose humility over arrogance.
CIRCULARITY
Alterist was born out of our desire to minimise textile waste. We believe in the value of existing materials already in circulation; it just takes a little creativity to see it. We always strive to work towards the long-term goals rather than the short term, quick fixes.
COLLABORATION
We believe that for the industry to become fully sustainable, collaboration is key. We want to harness the radical imagination of designers and creatives who work with us, and together, provide a tangible solution to the fashion industry's waste problem.
COMMUNITY
We wish to empower all of those we work with. We want to create a space that brings together like-minded individuals, artists and designers. United by hope and creativity, revealing the beauty and impact of collective action.
OUR IMPACT
We are deeply passionate about sustainability and as a purpose-driven company, we strive to make a positive impact on our planet, community, and industry.
