Sustainable Fashion: Mend, Thrift, Style and Sometimes Buy
Fashion is self-expression. It’s art. It’s also responsible for roughly 10 percent of planet-warming emissions. But it doesn’t have to be.
Join KQED climate reporter Laura Klivans and Remake to learn how fashion can be sustainable. We’ll talk about mending basics and how to thrift like a champ, and we’ll bring out professional stylists to teach us how to work with our favorite pieces so they shine anew.
One lucky audience member will get an on-the-spot styling session with Kara Fabella, a sustainably-focused stylist! When you purchase your ticket, you’ll be automatically entered into the lottery to win that session. Kara will help you use what you already have in your closet to shine!
We’ll have a clothing swap after the event! Bring a maximum of 10 items to swap.
