Do you keep your broken jewellery or hoard old shirts in the hope one day you will find the time to resurrect them into something new? Well you are in luck – Your chance to do something about it is coming up at the Wear It – L’Oreal Melbourne Fashion Festival commencing 19 March 2011.
Jeweller, Emma Grace of The Treasury, and sustainable fashion designer Ellie Mucke of fashion label Mucke, will be collaborating on an exhibition and conducting a series of workshops as part of the Wear It- L’Oreal Melbourne Fashion Festival cultural program. Promoting a shift away from a throw away culture, Emma and Ellie will show you how to make new from old, and provide an environment where you can exchange skills, materials and inspiration!
So dig deep into your closet and pull out your broken and mismatched treasures to fix or recreate into stunning new accessories. Alternatively, turn your old shirts (or your boyfriends/husbands) into brand new fashion – perhaps a singlet or a skirt? Let your creative juices flow and in Ellie’s words “explore more sustainable ways of consuming fashion”.
