What we'll deliver:
Why it's a great idea:
The project was inspired by the Made In Camden Fashion Project of which I was the project manager where I experienced first hand the talent within the local community and saw a need to find a way to support them as Artists. Alongside my work with children's charity's, little hands design and HVH Arts Foundation and William Ellis School teaching children sustainable fashion over the last few years I wished to create a way to carry on this work inspiring youths and giving them a valuable experience of a retail environment. This Summer we ran a successful children's 5 week course and used Buck Street to host clothes swaps, fashion shows and a retail experience from here the idea of this project was born. The project will benefit; -local creators and makers by giving them a free space to trial their work -schools by deliver free sustainable workshops -the high street by increasing footfall - engagement for the local community by the way of workshops and events
Steps to get it done:
-We aim to reduce the amount of clothing going to land fill by promoting the fact that textiles and clothing contaminates household waste and can damage the processing plant mechanisms with a view to a Veolia collaboration to assist us in this. -
