FunFair Fashion is organising a sustainable fashion three-day event at Jonas, IJburg from 10 – 12 October to raise awareness about sustainability in the fashion industry and celebrate ethical fashion solutions.
Project Upcycled: A Fashion Show – Saturday, 12 October 20:00h
Robina Wouters and Unge George Wilbers present their first joint collection. On 12 October 2024, FunFair Fashion will present the parent-and-child design team’s collection: Project Upcycled. All pieces are made from deconstructed donated garments.
Workshop: Wear Your Values, Friday, 11 October 19:00h
A workshop to align your outside with your inside. You pour your heart and soul into your work.
Film Screening: Textile Mountain (with post-screening discussion)
Many of us donate our unwanted clothes to charity shops and clothing collection banks – but do we really know what happens to them? Globally, 70% of our donated clothes are baled and sold to textile traders who ship them abroad for resale in sub-Saharan Africa.
Textile Mountain exposes the social and environmental costs of the second-hand clothing trade and follows the path of our unwanted garments from recycling bins in Europe to landfills and waterways in the South. Shot in Kenya, Ireland and Belgium, this film calls on us to rethink the way we design, wear and reuse our clothes so that our fashion waste no longer becomes another country’s burden.
Swap Market: Thursday, 10 October 16:00 – 18:00h | Friday, 11 October 17:00 – 19:00h, Saturday, 12 October 10:30 – 11:30.
Renew your wardrobe by swapping your items with other sustainably conscious fashion lovers. Drop off up to 5 items and receive:
- 1 point for a fast-fashion garment
- 3 points for a durable garment
- 5 points for a lifetime garment
Spend your points on the day of the event or at any other FunFair Fashion Swap event in the future.
