Fast Fashion: probably most of us are aware of the horrific impacts that fast fashion has on the environment and climate and its contribution to social and economic inequality around our planet.
“Threads of Change” is a collective effort undertaken by three different groups working together with different approaches and with the common goal to make a statement and open a window from a new perspective on consumption. We promote the culture of REpair, REuse and REpurpose of textile products instead of continuous consumption and disposal of almost-new products.
