Join us for a Fashion Revolution Week event showcasing sustainable fashion ideas, sewing sessions , upcycling tips and a free screening of the trailblazing documentary 'Fashion Reimagined'.
In 2013, the Fashion Revolution movement was founded in the wake of the devastating Rana Plaza clothing factory fire. Over the last 10 years this global movement has mobilised fashion designers, makers, sellers and wearers to create change that values people and environment over profits. Be part of the revolution at this activity-filled day including creative textile and upcycling stalls, sew-in sessions and a light lunch during the screening with post film discussion. View our newest exhibition, A Garden of Possibility by Southside Upcycling Stitchers and get the latest information from Councils Waste team to help you with your waste reduction projects and own personal upcycling revolution. Everyone is encouraged to wear something upcycled or second-hand. Make new friends and learn new skills at the free sew-in sessions and upcycled brooch making activity with members of Southside Upcycling Stitchers (SUS), The Rim Re-Makers (TRRM) BADCAP's newest creative group, and Boonah Organisation for a Sustainable Shire (BOSS). |

About the documentary
Fashion Reimagined 2022 100min. Fashion designer Amy Powney of cult label Mother of Pearl is a rising star in the London fashion scene. Raised off-the-grid in rural England by activist parents, Amy has always felt uneasy about the devastating environmental impact of her industry. When she wins the coveted Vogue award for the Best Young Designer of the Year, which comes with a big cash prize, Amy decides to use the money to create a sustainable collection from field to finished garment, and transform her entire business. Over the following three years, her own personal revolution becomes the precursor of a much bigger, societal change.
