Slow fashion lovers and those who want to learn should start gathering their preloved items and crafting tools because the slow fashion festival is just around the corner!
Cape Town, South Africa (15 August 2024) — In a world of quick production and faster trends, communities around the world are rebelling by simply slowing things down. The slow fashion movement isn’t just about saying no to over-consumption and searching for ethical production chains—it’s also about taking the initiative to say yes to reworking preloved items, upcycling garments you never thought you’d wear again into new and creative forms and of course, doing all this alongside a community who cares about the environment as much as you do.
Around the corner lies the Slow Fashion Festival—a free occasion to unite with like-minded fashion lovers, doers and thinkers over a love of the slow lane.
Here’s What to Look Forward to:
Led by slow fashion champions TWYG, on 17 August, it’ll be all systems go for a feast of activities, including:
- A swap & mend session
- A craft circle with the Cape Town Craft Club
- Learning how to make a zero-waste T-shirt with Andie Reeves
- Repurposing denim, embroidery and other mending experiences with Husqvarna Viking
- Learning how to put together your own mending kit
- A kitting session with Holly Kane
In addition, there will be talks from experts that’ll give attendees the 101 on running a sustainable fashion business, learning about African traditional fashion and sustainability and then some!
