Past events
Sustainable Fashion Show, Friday 6 October 2023
Salisbury Arts Centre
We worked alongside social enterprise The Swish and local young people to bring you an exciting Sustainable Fashion Show! It was hosted at Salisbury Arts Centre by Wiltshire Creative who worked in partnership with us on the show. Young people took part in workshops over the summer to create some amazing outfits to wear down the catwalk! Local sustainable fashion businesses showed off their collections on the catwalk and there were sustainable shopping opportunities too!
This event was part of Sustainable Fashion Week which aims to bring the community together to take creative action and change the fashion system.
It was kindly supported by the Wiltshire Council Area Board Youth Grant.
