The City of Sydney and Clothes Swap & Style are joining eco-friendly forces to bring a clothes swap for the whole family to Potts Point.

Swapping is a clever and thrifty way to update your wardrobe, save money and help fight textile waste.

If you have garments in excellent condition you once loved but are no longer your favourites, join us at The Rex Centre in Potts Point for a swap and a styling demo.

The styling demo will use items in the clothes swap and show how to easily extend the use of one garment to create different styles. Styling uses layering and accessorising to create different looks from one garment to suit many occasions.

The fashion industry is booming, and is leaving an astonishing trail of environmental and social repercussions in its wake. Pollution, water-use, carbon emissions, microplastics, human rights and gender equality are all impacted by the clothes we choose to buy. As consumers, we can play a huge role by re-considering our shopping habits and advocating for a shift in how we approach fashion, to incorporate more sustainable practices.

Chaired by ANZ Green Ambassador Country Sponsor for Indonesia, Jodi West, join Anthony Chesler, CEO of Thread Together, to learn more about the impact of clothing manufacturing and the problem of excess fashion, and what they are doing to tackle it. We’ll also hear from Nina Gbor of Eco Styles, who will talk about how we can turn the tide at national, community and individual levels. She will inspire you to re-think your fashion consumption habits with a restyling demonstration, to help you get more out of your wardrobe, to reduce clothing waste from going to landfill.
