Bower Festival of Repair: Fixing Fashion

  • 107 107 Redfern Street Redfern, NSW, 2016 Australia (map)

How do we Fix Fashion?

Each year in Australia we throw out more than 300,000 tonnes of clothing, some goes to Opp Shops but most of it ends up in landfill or is shipped offshore for processing or recycling.

After watching seriously tongue-in-cheek Patagonia doco 'The Shitthropocene'
Craig Reucassel,
ABC Radio Sydney Breakfast presenter and host of The War on Waste will try to find the answers in discussion with panellists:

  • Patagonia spokesperson

  • Councillor Adam Worling, former director of Thread Together clothing re-use social enterprise

  • Australian Fashion Council CEO - Jaana Quaintance-James, former Sustainability Manager, The Iconic

  • Nina Gbor, Australia Institute Director of Circular Economy, founder of @Eco.Styles

  • Reverse Garbage CEO Kirsten Junor, former Dress for Success Operations Manager

  • Rachel Power, The Bower Head of Textiles
