The festival for a fashionable world without poverty
29 – 31 July at CarriageWorks
This is a great festival with lots of exciting stuff. I'm defenitely going to be part of the rethreads, the free massive clothes exchange.
"Oxfam Australia and CarriageWorks are delighted to join forces to present a series of free events that examine the inner workings of the fashion industry. Exchange for Change celebrates the positive steps many have made to address the environmental impacts of clothing production, as well as fair wages and safe working conditions for the people who make our clothes. Above all, the three day event will focus on what we can do in our everyday lives to make a difference. Stitched together with a lineup of live local music, and wintry treats from the CarriageWorks café and bar, this is an event for anyone ready to evolve their fashion sense. Everything is free!" Bring your best cast-offs to CarriageWorks on Saturday 31 July 2010 and exchange them for new pieces to reinvigorate your wardrobe. http://www.oxfam.org.au/act/events/exchange-for-change
This Blog is about how to be ‘fashionable’ for $10 or less. It’s about 'fashion' items acquired for FREE through Clothes Swaps, picked up next to the road in Council Cleanups or searched from the local (charity) Vinnies and Salvos stores (max $10). It’s about challenging our consumer society! It’s about me being ‘your fashion’ and about YOU. I love to hear from you if you recognize any of your pieces in this blog and add YOUR STORY. PS I am the fashion model in my own blog! Photos by me too :-)
