Sharpen your scissors and thread your needles, it's time for Slow Fashion Club's FIRST fashion competition!
The Slow Fashion Club, in collaboration with the Sustainability Club, is excited to introduce the REWORN Campaign. Reworn is a campaign entry part of the Net Impact, Wear It Wise Sustainable Fashion Competition. This international competition will run over the next couple of weeks, with the goal to increase awareness of the social, environmental and economic impacts of the fashion industry.Â
The REWORN Campaign would like to use live interactive events to educate students about clothing care, disposal and repurpose options. The goal is to change consumer behavior of the next generation and make them aware of their impact within the fashion industry. You are more than just a consumer, you are creative. Use your skills to repurpose your old and make it new. Reimage. Reworn. Become aprosumer.Â
