About the practice
Cristina Guerreiro is a Portuguese designer, upcycling artist and founder of Konceito.r, a second-hand fashion and creative reuse project based in Faro, Algarve. Rooted in her Alentejo upbringing and background in Art and Design, her work explores the relationship between clothing, identity and memory. She transforms existing garments, forgotten textiles and unexpected materials into unique wearable pieces, allowing traces of their previous lives to become part of a new story. Inspired by the philosophy of wabi-sabi, Cristina embraces imperfection, asymmetry and the expressive possibilities of materials already in circulation. Each piece begins with what is available: a fabric, a texture, a sign of wear or a detail that suggests a different future. Her collections include Human Postcards, a dialogue between clothing, landscape and the Algarve, and Herdade, which reinterprets traditional Alentejo blankets through contemporary fashion. Her practice extends beyond collections to exhibitions, performance, styling and collaborations with other creatives. Through Konceito.r and hands-on workshops, Cristina shares upcycling as both a creative practice and an accessible way to reconsider consumption. She invites people to recognise the value in what they already own and discover how clothing can be repaired, reinvented and worn again. For Cristina, upcycling is a way of preserving memory while creating space for something unexpected.
