What is Slow Couture?

One way to make clothing last is by upcycling
We challenge you to do it! |
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.
