SO YOU WANT A REVOLUTION? . The Fashion Revolution is gaining momentum, but a true revolution begins when we, the people, put our words into action. That’s why A.BCH is not only telling you who made your clothes, they’re going to show you how. . Kicking off Fashion Revolution Week (April 23-29, 2018), @abch.world bring CUTPIECE - a series of up-cycling workshops. Participants are invited into the A.BCH studio to make a new item from old clothing, off-cuts or salvaged materials. . http://www.sustainabilityportal.net/blog/cutpiece-abch-for-fashion-revolution . . . . . @fash_rev @fash_rev_ausnz #fashionrevolution #melbourne #sustainablefashion #melbourneevents #upcycling #circularfashion #cutpiece #workshop #fashionsupplychain
Meet @gloria_dulcie, one of the latest labels to join the @afc_curated crew that you'll find at the 27 Johnston St pop-up this week! "Our focus is to create quality pieces with a poetic touch. Pieces defined by their subtle details. Gloria Dulcie whilst adaptable and complimentary, seeks to re-evoke the desire for personal style. As supporters of slow fashion we believe in escaping traditional trend cycles. Instead creating detailed, capsule collections that harmonise creative rhythm and environmental sustainability."
Meet @corepret, the collaborative fashion practice by designers Nessie Croft and Gabrielle Leavesley, seeking to investigate a progressive mentality towards ethical fashion, breaking down socially constructed boundaries regarding discarded cloth, and working towards a more ethically integrated industry.⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ Join them on April 6th for ~ Lunch box ~ their second installation marrying fashion to your local bake sale in an elevated canteen setting. ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ "We hope to encourage individuals to start connecting the dots between agriculture and textile products and understanding the impact of their actions when it comes to consuming fashion."⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ Head to corepret.com
