From materials and our consumer behaviour to supposed industry solutions such as recycling: in this lecture series, Tanita Hecking from Fashion Revolution Germany e.V. takes a multi-layered look at sustainability in fashion. She decodes narratives that determine today’s discourse on sustainability and sheds light on the responsibility that companies and individuals bear.18:00 – 20:00 Repair and upcycling workshop for students
Fashion designers Lea & Lisa from Vandla design will help with minor repairs like repairing holes or sewing on buttons and small adjustments such as shortening garments, etc.. You can also take advantage of an upcycling & re-styling consultation! Bring your beloved clothes that are still in good condition, but that you no longer wear because of style or fit. Together with the designers, you can think about re-styling so that you can wear them again with love and pride.
Please consult in advance with mirjam.born@future.fashion about what you would like to do so that they can prepare for you in the best possible way.
