There’s a whole lot of sustainable fashion events happening in Melbourne this week
Be humble.
There’s a whole lot of sustainability-focused fashion events going down in Melbourne this week.
Starting the discussion around the need for a more conscious approach, the program is delivering a number of workshops and talks around sustainable fashion.
It’s all being run by CTF Curated (the collective supporting local fashion talent), who are currently holding an independent label pop-up in St. Collins Lane.
Here’s a rundown of what’s going on.
Build a Sustainable Wardrobe Talk with A.BCH
Sustainable fashion is all the talk right now, so why don’t you hear it straight from the mouth of an industry insider? Listen to Courtney Holm of A.BCH discuss the process of building a sustainable wardrobe. From reworking existing pieces to shopping from local labels, you’re in for an earful of thought-provoking and outfit-mastering dialogue. What’s more, you can even redeem the cost of your ticket on the night at the St. Collins Lane pop-up store.
When: Thursday June 1, 6.30pm-9pm
Where: St. Collins Lane, Melbourne
