Fashion Activistas

A group that inspires, encourages, promotes and supports slow fashion.

Come and join us for fun events promoting sustainable fashion and a fair clothing industry:

Clothing swaps
Repair, upcycling & decorating workshops
Pop-up fashion shows of recycled, upcycled and message-spreading clothing
Talks on fair labour, sustainable clothing strategies, local fabric production and related topics
Annual "New Mills Fashion Week"

We want to encourage awareness of the impact of the clothing and fashion industries on the planet and the influence peoples behaviour around consumption.

We want to inspire a more creative, sustainable and affordable approach to clothing and encourage individual style.

We recognise that wearing clothes is universal, so we believe that everyone should have access to personal expression and style no matter who they are.

We promote sharing and learning and creative skills and new ideas within our communities.

We strive to make our events open and accessible to all, regardless of age, background, race, income, gender or body shape.

We support garment workers in this country and wide-world in their plight to fair wages and good working conditions.

We're passionate about reducing over production and waste through recycling, upcycling and reduced consumption.

We are serious about sustainability but think that making changes should be fun.
