High street favourite Topshop has joined forces with Reclaim To Wear to launch a capsule "upcycled" collection made entirely from discarded materials, such as surplus stock and production off-cuts.

Launched in 1997 by eco label From Somewhere - which was started by Orsola de Castro and Filippo Ricci - Reclaim To Wear aims to create a solution to design waste. The new collection uses Topshop's commitment stock of jersey, cotton and denim to create a range of unique summer must-haves that are also eco-friendly.

The capsule collection of eight pieces includes ombré denim, a panelled jersey dress and a slouchy grey marl sweater that will be perfect for the summer festival dweller, prividing fashion-forward looks without any of the fast-fashion guilt.

Topshop buying director Emma Wisden said of the partnership: "We are very excited about the launch of the first Topshop Reclaim To Wear range. The blueprint that Orsola and Filippo have developed with us will hopefully allow Topshop to scale this project and apply the learning across a broader section of the supply chain, for the next collection."
The collection will launch on June 15, exclusively at Topshop.com . Prices start from £32.
