Clothes are essential for functionality, but they are also a way we can present ourselves and our personalities to the world. But it matters how clothing is produced as it has such a significant impact on both people and planet. Sustainable Fashion Week is an annual event helping to raise awareness and make sustainable fashion accessible through community engagement. Taking a creative, grass roots approach, the movement will seek to empower people with skills and knowledge to help drive positive change in our relationship with clothes.
