Fashion plays a huge part in our culture and brings a whopping £26 billion to the UK economy. We each spend around £640 on clothes per year and collectively throw out almost 1 million tonnes of textiles. One third of this has barely been worn! This is men and women alike, with men only wearing 13% of the clothing in their wardrobes.
Maintaining your style without throwing away your old things is easier than you think, and can save you money. Refashion events are a great place to start for anyone interested in learning something new, making a difference, and having fun along the way.
Your refashion event can be as small or large as you wish, and this handbook is intended for ideas and inspiration to cherry pick from. For larger events you may want to refer to the ‘Fashion make, do & mend - logistics handbook’.
If you do run an event, keep us in the loop! hello@hubbub.org.uk. Delve in…and enjoy!
Hubbub.
