Slow Fashion Exchange: A pop-up experience and chat on sustainable fashion
Do you love fashion? But are concerned about fast fashion practices? Do some of your clothes "spark joy" while others "do not spark joy"? Do you want to learn some new fashion re-purposing skills? If you've answered yes to any of these questions, then we need you!
The Sustainable fashion group is currently seeking clothing donations (gently used, washed and folded) for our Slow Fashion Exchange happening on Monday, March 25, to kick off Earth Week!
You can drop off your donations at the Lakeshore Campus until March 20 at:
- A-168 The Base
- WEL 302
- Fashion Institute
- L Commons
- The Business office in H building
Every garment has a tale, come and be a part of our clothing story, and share yours on Monday, March 25 in LCommons from 12 p.m. to 3 p.m. where you can engage in a multitude of learning experiences.
March 25 – 12 p.m. to 3 p.m. in L Commons:
