Engaging and connected talks, full runway of upcycled clothing, $1 tacos, silent auction -- Re(dress)’s major project of 2017 was a grand success! It took an arduous four months of planning, designing, cutting, sewing, organizing, and collaborating to create such an impactful and unforgettable event. This night became not only a startling awakening for the audience to the unseen issues of fashion -- such as the slanted standard of beauty, environmental disaster, neglected women’s and children’s rights -- but also a strengthened commitment for Re(dress) to continue our fight for honesty in an industry that exploits and damages.
We raised $782 from the 22 repurposed outfits that were auctioned off by local community members, which will be donated to Labour Behind the Label, a non-profit organization based in the UK that campaigns for garment workers’ rights worldwide. This marks a small step forward in bringing to light the blood, sweat, and tears hanging from our clothes. But our fight for transparency is far from over. Continue to educate yourself and others on the untold story behind our closets by keeping up with our updates and blogs. Take responsibility and take action. Big thanks to Global Prep Academy who provided our team with their awesome space!
