Sustainable Fashion Show

I co-directed a Fashion Design Honors Colloquium course which led to the production of our sustainable fashion show "Slow Fashion Hits The Runway: A Sustainability-Centered Fashion Show," centered around recently approved UN Alliance for Sustainable Fashion objectives by committing our entire class to produce outfits based on little to no waste, thrifting fabrics or up-cycling existing clothing in our closet, as well as collecting left-over scraps and keeping them stored for future shows or courses at EMU. We truly wanted to combine the creativity and community-building aspects of fashion and meticulous sustainability goals, such as reducing water pollution and greenhouse gas emissions that are produced by fast fashion yearly.
