2019 Slow Couture Fashion Show

What is Slow Couture?

buying clothing with an understanding of its environmental and social impact buying local buying used buying less making clothing that lasts the opposite of fast fashion!

One way to make clothing last is by upcycling

Slow Couture Fashion Show

Thursday, September 26
Library Quad

• Re-think and re-tool your tired threads into a new look
• Mend, dye, embroider, augment, embellish, bedazzle (!?).... clothing that you'd either donate or that may even be destined for the landfill!
• Come out and strut your stuff on the catwalk (or have a friend do it) on September 26
• Judges are looking for interesting technique, creativity, styling, and sustainability
• Stay tuned for prize details

Need a little inspiration/technical assistance?

Come by the Upcycle Workshops for some guidance

We can form a conscientious relationship with the clothes we wear. Slow Couture takes time and investment (of time, creativity...), but so do people and so does our planet.

Join us in celebrating a better future for fashion.
