House of Fast Fashun

Overview

Melbourne art collective Fast Fashun is heading up to Sydney for a two-day pop-up in Tumbalong Park for Sydney Festival. Hitting the Harbour City for the weekend of January 20–21, the free activation will shine a light on how we can reduce the waste created by the clothes we wear.

Attendees will be encouraged to make one-of-a-kind fashion creations from recycled clothes, with members of the Fast Fashun team on hand to run workshops in repurposing clothing using sewing machines, safety pins or just some good old-fashioned creativity.

Every hour between 1–4pm, there will be a runway show where the participants can show off their creations. You'll be able to flex your visual eye before hitting the catwalk in front of a cheering crowd to shine a spotlight on how imaginative you can be with pre-loved garms.

If you want to get around the Fast Fashun mission of saving clothes from landfill and reducing the amount of single-wear and throw-it-out fashion being produced, follow the collective on Instagram and check out the latest edition of the Fast Fashun zine.
