Threading Change is proud to host our inaugural Fair Fashion Festival in Halifax in collaboration with The Great Halifax Clothing Swap - an epic interdisciplinary event where you will meet industry leaders and experts in the sustainable fashion space, learn about the industry's social and environmental hidden costs, and swap your gently-used clothing, shoes, and accessories for new-to-you gems!
You can expect to leave the event feeling empowered to integrate sustainable fashion into your lifestyle, and be clothing changemakers. The different educational components will raise awareness of the social, environmental, and political dimensions of the fashion industry, immersing you in all three levels of Threading Change's tri-impact model: education, innovation, and consultation. What’s more, you’ll also get to swap your pre-loved clothes for new treasures at Halifax’s most trusted clothing swap hosted by the Great Halifax Clothing Swap!
Join Threading Change and The Great Halifax Clothing Swap in this experience that will take you beyond thrifting, as we unravel the hidden costs of the fashion industry. Immerse yourself in our clothing swap, learn how to mend your clothes, engage with our panel discussion, connect with our Museum of Changemakers, learn at our workshops, and make new connections!
Participate in a sustainable fashion initiative by swapping clothes instead of buying new ones. Attendees bring gently-used clothing shoes and accessories to donate, and can then take as many clothing items as they would like. The cost to enter the swap is $15 with a clothing donation, $25 without. For more information on how the swap works, check out the website, greatswap.ca, or follow @clothingreincarnated on Facebook and Instagram.
