presenting an opportunity for student collaboration and local action on a global issue; the unethical practices entrenched within the textile industry and the over-consumption of mass-produced, poor-quality clothing.
Our aim is to get students dressing with style; by which we mean selecting garments consciously:
1. With an awareness of the origin and manufacture the garments worn.
2. As something altered to express personal taste.
3. From a local business or charity retailing garments with traceable, clean histories.
As such, we may define “Style” as the selection of clothing with an awareness of a garment’s manufacture, marked by an individualised touch and with a view to a long life – something rather less fickle than fashion.
