Overview
The Social Outfit opened the doors of their south King Street storefront a year ago. Since then, their shelves have been stocked with vibrant, ethically-made statement pieces created by people from new migrant and refugee backgrounds in Sydney. The store doubles as a sewing school and manufacturing house, so they’re able to provide education, training and employment opportunities in design, production, retail and marketing.
To celebrate the big uno, and all the talent, skill and hard work of the people behind the clothes, they’re throwing a birthday bash (in fashion show form) on July 22 at Redfern Town Hall. Complete with food, drinks and good people, the show will feature new prints by Sydney designer and creative producer Eloise Rapp and the Burmese-Karen community.
Tickets were available through the crowdfunding campaign for their new digital design training program, which has now has closed (sad emoji). Good news is they reached their goal (HURRAH!) so it’s likely this won’t be the last time you hear from them.
