Against Fast Fashion! @ Dunbar Grammar School

Fast Fashion is the rapid production of inexpensive, low quality clothing that copies the latest styles. The goal is to maximize profits by getting new styles into stores quickly. 

Did you know…?

The fashion industry is responsible for around 10% of global carbon emissions, more than international flights and maritime shipping combined!

and

Consumers purchase 60% more clothing today than they did in 2000, and 85% of textiles end up in landfills every year! (And these are just 2 of the very many shocking facts on this issue)....

Fixing for a Future is an East Lothian-based community project campaigning Against Fast Fashion! We are working to encourage the learning and sharing of sewing skills among communities, and particularly among young people, in East Lothian; to show all the benefits of making and fixing your own clothes...It enables creativity of expression, it's good for the planet - reducing CO2 emissions and waste to landfill, it saves money, it's social and it's fun!

We're delighted to currently be working with pupils at Dunbar Grammar School! See below for fabulous up-cycled fashion!
