About us
7SmileStudio was founded by Linda Yang, a passionate enthusiast of handmade crafts and creative fashion design. The brand is dedicated to spreading positivity through the upcycling and innovative redesign of clothing, allowing people to experience the vibrant energy and joy of life. we are committed to redefining fashion by combining creativity with sustainability.
Initially, we noticed that denim and hoodies often come in dull, monotonous colours, and a significant amount of unused clothing ends up going to waste. Our journey began with a love for upcycling denim and a desire to transform it into something truly unique. By combining plain denim and second-hand clothing with colourful patchwork, embroidery, and crochet techniques, We hope to create fresh, modern designs. Our goals are to craft one-of-a-kind, colourful, and eco-friendly clothing that brings joy and positivity to people’s lives. In a world dominated by plain blues and blacks, we aim to inject more colour, bringing hope and happiness to everyday life.
The Idea:
At the heart of 7SmileStudio is a vision to involve more independent designers and creative individuals who can contribute innovative upcycling or creating ideas. Together, we’ll transform these ideas into vibrant, unique products, giving denim and second-hand clothing a new lease of life. Each design tells a story, blending the durability of denim with the artistry of patchwork and embroidery.
Our vision is to build a brand that is not only stylish but also socially responsible. By reducing waste, promoting sustainability, and encouraging people to embrace life with a smile, we hope to make a meaningful impact.
Additionally, we aim to empower unemployed individuals or stay-at-home parents with sewing skills by providing them with materials and design patterns. They can create and sell their own upcycled products or join our production and distribution network, helping them generate additional income while contributing to a more sustainable future.
The Team:
Currently, Linda is the driving force behind 7SmileStudio. She collaborates with an embroidery factory that provides high-quality craftsmanship and skilled artisans who handle the sewing. We’re also exploring the use of AI technology to generate even more creative ideas. A potential AI designer is in discussions to develop software that allows users to upload photos of their clothing. The AI, guided by user input, can design multiple upcycled styles and showcase them through virtual try-ons. Once a design is selected, our network of artisans will bring it to life.
We are dedicated to offering upcycled basics, creating high-quality, sustainable fashion items that breathe new life into our wardrobes while conserving resources.
The Vision:
We dream of creating colourful denim and upcycled second-hand clothing that encourages people to smile and face life with renewed energy. We envision a world where fashion is not only beautiful but also responsible. We hopes to inspire people to see the potential in old materials, celebrate creativity, and embrace life with positivity and colour. Life can be challenging, but a colourful life is one worth celebrating.
