We are super excited about being able to participate in this year's international campaign for Fashion Revolution!

This will be our third year where we have organised events to coincide with this global campaign to increase awareness, and  develop creative solutions, to the devastating problems in the contemporary fashion industry.

As in the past 2 years, we will be calling our project "UNSTITCHED".  Highlighting our wish to 'unstitch the myths of the fashion industry' and help people to become informed about actions they can take to make positive differences.

This year, we are doing something slightly different. We
have researched the local impact of the fashion industry, and will deliver an interactive seminar presenting this information, adapted to suit different audiences and time frames.

Our aim is to connect with groups to empower their members and wider public audiences with the ideas of a 'pro-fashion revolution':
How they can learn more about the choices available; understanding care labels and garment quality; using resources, such as the 'Good On You' app, to identify companies/labels which reflect their personal values; and the benefits of supporting local business and independent design.   

Join us for an informal, interactive discussion on contemporary fashion and our place in this global industry.

Plus, we'll introduce you to 'craftivism' and help you make a small scale embroidered patch, which you can use to cover holes in jeans... stitch to your jacket sleeve... display in public... give a friend... anything you like.
