Featuring even more workshops, marketplaces, discussions, film screenings, and other events, it makes its triumphant comeback in an effort to harness the collective power of everyone to bring about change in the fashion business. The topic for this year’s Edition is “The ReWear Revolution,” which welcomes all individuals with a passion for fashion (as well as people and earth) to get involved. It celebrates anything preloved, secondhand, handed-down, reworked, and reworn. As part of its Communities Programme, SFW will comprise over 75 distinctive grassroots initiatives, each specifically designed to assist the ReWear Revolution. The National Trust, the BBC, Salisbury museum The Fashion Museum, and other organizations are taking part in the effort to band together to take actions against the excessive production and consumption of clothing.
It’s little wonder that Sustainability Fashion Week is expanding as a growing number of us become more conscious about what we wear, where it originates from, and how it affects society and the environment. In addition to its Bristol headquarters, this year will see growth with two-day Hubs opening in Plymouth, England, Manchester, Bradford, Yorkshire, London, Cardiff, Frome, and Brighton. Having Hubs in the United States, India, and Papua New Guinea, SFW has expanded internationally until 2023.
SFW is the place to be if you want to spruce up low-impact fashion, with DIY Naturally Dye Courses using Oxidate Design, Styling, Swapping, as well as Supper with DeFashion Dorset, workshops that will help those who love fashion liven up their clothing with the lino printing with Paige & Wynter, and an ultimate Style Lock in by sustainable-stylist Clothemod.
The whole schedule of community programs is now available, so mark your calendars for events like the waste-free pattern cutting collection, sewing workshops, clothing swaps, and more. Fashionistas and activists can pick and choose which workshops and events they want to attend from a jam-packed schedule that is dispersed across the nation and even across international borders, giving them the inspiration and know-how they need to join the ReWear the Revolution in style.
“We’re back, connecting communities around to find beneficial methods to enjoy and interacting with fashion,” said Amelia Twine, the founder of Sustainable Fashion Week.
The bumper edition from this year will be jam-packed with enough of content to incite change and inspire new fashion trends. We must all work together to preserve the environment and aggressively build the sort of fashion sector that is deserved by coming generations.
“At SFW, we define an environmentally friendly fashion sector as one that has low impact, built on an exchange-oriented culture, and driven by group effort. In order to keep clothing from going to waste and keeping it in use, we expect to see fresh forms of fashion emerge where we exchange, trade, fix, and reuse goods. We firmly think that a strong sense of community can drive and inspire change.
The event has enjoyed tremendous success for the previous three years because to Amelia Twine, who organized it, gave vital insight into the environmentally friendly clothing movement, and brought together professionals and communities to share their knowledge.
