Moorlands Climate Action are thrilled to be able to host a Fashion Show brought to us by the wonderful, talented New Mills Fashion Activistas.
New Mills Fashion Activistas (a play on the word ‘fashionistas’) is a group of people worried about the cost of fashion for our planet. As well as being able to repair and upcycle clothes, their main aim is to engage people in a conversation about how we can all do better as consumers when it comes to buying clothes - shedding light on the environmental and ethical issues associated with conventional fashion practices.
They hold talks and workshops as well as Fashion Shows, which started when they founded New Mills Fashion Week. In their shows, they display outfits they have created from preloved clothes, often embellished with beautiful eye-catching embroidery and slogans with messages about fashion and our world, inspiring change and also promoting an eco-friendly approach to style.
Audience members are encouraged to come along wearing their own preloved outfits and, if they wish, to share their stories. It promises to be a fun, informative evening.
The Fashion Show will be taking place on Thursday 18 September. It is a free event...
