My project has just finished session number 2 and here’s some of the ideas Maddie and I have come up with. It’s amazing what two passionate people can come up with in 2 hours and a few biscuits. We got stuck straight in and discussed so much we came up with three outfits already.
Here’s a sneak peak at what we’re aiming for!

Have you ever worn a T-shirt which you liked in the shop, but got home and disliked it? Do you ever wear the same things over and over again, even until it’s broken, but still wear it anyway? Do you go shopping and always manage to find an item of clothing you feel compelled to buy?
It’s not that much of a coincidence really because there are many people in the same boat!
This project aims to raise awareness of the impact of consumerism on young peoples’ well-being as well as the impact on the environment. By bringing a group of young people together we aim to be involved in a ethically-friendly fashion project producing an outcome for public display. There’s one catch though, all materials used must be old and broken to be reused and recycled. From clothing items, newspapers to accessories and imaginative bits and bobs. So, go find last year’s Christmas presents or that item you threw to the back of the cupboard!
