Sustainable Queenstown is bringing back its ‘ReFashion’ show, with more high fashion and ‘wearable art’ vibes, demonstrating the power of buying second-hand first, caring for and repairing clothes, and buying less.
A total of 13 designers are involved in the show, including two eight-year-olds, modelling their own upcycled outfits.
Designers include TIKKI Studio’s Nina Chen, who’ll be modelling a bed sheet and quilted duvet she’s turned into an outfit.
Models comprise local youth, who’ve taken classes with Chen, displaying outfits made from clothes donated to Happiness House, while op-shopping will also be available at the event.
Sustainable Queenstown resourceful communities programme manager Scott Kennedy says the event is a great way to show the community how much fun and style sustainable fashion can bring to the party.
ReFashion’s being held at Frankton’s Salvation Army — doors open at 6.30pm before the show starts at 7pm. Tickets cost $15, available via Humanitix.
