It is no secret that Australians love to shop. But now forward thinking fashionistas are swapping instead of shopping. The trend away from purchasing garments new is taking Australia by storm as ‘fashion waste’ climbs to $1.7 billion annually.
The Clothing Exchange has been holding national events to promote this simple notion of swapping since 2004 in order to offer a viable alternative to acquiring ‘new’ clothing. This year, The Clothing Exchange is hosting an event as part of the 2010 Adelaide Fashion Festival.
The swapping event will take place on Sunday 7th November at the Norwood Concert Hall. Participants can check-in their items from 10:00am.
The 2010 Adelaide Fashion Festival will adorn the streets of Adelaide from 5-13 November, with a nine-day program of high-profile fashion events to attract and entertain Adelaide’s creative and fashion-savvy crowds.
Tickets to the event can be purchased online for $25, includes glass of bubbly at www.clothingexchange.com.au
