The Clothing Exchange Presents Swap/Style/Snap!
A wardrobe revolution is coming to this year's Fashion FestivalMelbourne fashionistas are invited to the upcoming Swap/Style/Snap! wardrobe workshop and swap event at Deakin Edge, Federation Square on Wednesday 11 March, 2015.This very special one-off event is being held to celebrate The Clothing Exchange's 10 year partnership with the Virgin Australia Melbourne Fashion Festival (VAMFF).Given that the average Aussie has 104 items in their wardrobe they don't wear, this is a great opportunity for Melbourne's stylish young women to gain some insights, styling tips and a 'new' wardrobe in a single
evening!
Held as part of the VAMFF Cultural Program, Swap/Style/Snap! will be hosted by founder and sustainable fashion commentator Dr Kate Luckins alongside Linn Vikander. The wardrobe workshop features experts in sustainable style, wardrobe minimalism and provides advice about how to address our overflowing wardrobes in theory and practice.Participating keynote speakers include fashion blogger Cheryl Lin (BusinessChic), consultant and campaigner Fabia Pryor, slow fashion retailer Mats Ekström (Swensk) and Violette Snow and Sigrid McCarthy (HESSIAN magazine). This event also features the fine styling skills of Leeyong Soo (Style Wilderness, Japanese Vogue & Peppermint).
Following the workshop, the Clothing Exchange will commence.Guests are invited to bring up to 6 garments they willing to part with, and exchange them for something that takes your fancy at the event. There are a few expected but reasonable rules one should be aware of, such as all garments for trading must be clean, folded or pressed and free of faults (i.e. all buttons/zips must be intact). The garments should also be of good quality with a long potential lifespan and likely to be valued by others – ask yourself, would I be happy to give this item to a friend?There are several items which cannot be traded for obvious reasons, such underwear, swimwear and garments made of polar fleece.All items are screened at the door and there is a one-for-one garment exchange policy.
As this event is open to the public, there will be a wide range of sizes, styles and fashion labels, including high end labels, to choose from, so there will surely be a pre-love garment, or several, that will grab your attention. Fitting rooms will be available on site.The event kicks off at 6pm and tickets are priced $20 and are now on sale through
Eventbrite . Admission includes workshop, swap, much wisdom and even a few door prizes!Come along with your friends and enjoy a great girl's night out at Swap/Style/Snap!
