As one of the final events or the Climate for Change show at FACT there was a Sustainable Fashion show tonight in the gallery. In fact, there were two shows, both fully booked and very good, lots of inventive ideas and not too many bin bags in sight. Its given us a few ideas and Minako’s already sorting through that bag of old clothes thats been waiting to go to the charity shop for ages.
