Chalk Redesign

19/06/2018

On Saturday I had the absolute honour of moderating a Vivid Sydney ideas event about Fashion and the Circular Economy hosted by Kim and Kath from the The Possibility Project. Alongside the magnificent Clare Press and wonderful Tonia Bastyan from Chalk Design, we had an amazing conversation about everything from the psychology and additive nature of fast fashion to entropy, restorative justice, what people will think, gratitude to edible un**es latest iteration - compostable active wear.

What seems really apparent is that there is an enormous appetite for collaboration to try and make Sydney's fashion industry more circular and slow.

Already there are some excellent businesses and projects doing amazing things, so I'm more than happy to put my hand up and offer to facilitate connections and information sharing about this topic.
