Winter Clothes Swap & Styling Workshop

  • Nishi Building 2 Phillip Law St Canberra Australia (map)

The Winter Clothes Swap is here ladies! Perfect time to up your Winter style game in the most sustainable fashion! Invite your girl squad, sisters and mother. Because we’re all about fabulous styling, we’ll be giving a mini re-styling workshop. You’ll pick up a few tricks for using accessories and layers to re-style a garment for multiple seasons and events. As always there will be wine, drinks, snacks, styling, fun and a ton of laughs. We welcome all sizes.

Fashion has become an industry with one of the highest levels of environmental pollution and social injustice, so we encourage people to be sustainable in their fashion consumption and disposal. Through clothes swaps and restyling, we aim to create and maintain a circular economy that reduces fashion waste and keeps clothes from ending up in the landfill.

So, clear your closets of everything that you don’t love, doesn’t fit or haven’t worn in a long time, then book your tickets and give your wardrobe some fresh love!

HOW THE SWAP WORKS

1. Bring 1 – 15 items of clothing or accessories to add to the swap collection pool.
2. Please note that guests can only begin taking swap items after the intro and brief styling workshop by the host at the start of the event. After the workshop, guests can try on any garments and accessories and then take home as much as they like. 
3. At the end of the swap, participants can choose to take home remaining items they brought that have not been taken or they can leave them at the swap to be donated to charity.
