Luxembourg group Fashion Revolution will organise a number of events in the next few weeks. The organisation's Fashion Revolution Week will be held from April 22-28, 2019. It will also host the Big Clothes Swap at De Gudde Wellen on April 25, 2019.
Fashion Revolution believes that the only way to transform the industry is to collaborate with everyone involved in producing, selling, and consuming fashion. Calling upon Marie Kondo's famous decluttering method, the organisation describes its clothes swap event as a perfect opportunity to let your neglected clothes spark joy in someone else's wardrobe (and vice versa).
A particular issue that arises when it comes to attempting to act more sustainably and ethically in purchasing clothing is disposing unwanted clothes. Clothes swapping events provide people with the opportunity to get rid of their own clothing and acquire new clothes without directly contributing to the vicious cycle of fast fashion. Consumers donate items they no longer want and in return can take the same amount of items that others have donated free of charge.
The event mainly focuses on men and women's clothing. As all leftover clothes are donated to the Red Cross Luxembourg the next day, anybody hoping to simply donate clothes instead of swap can bring a bag to put to the side for the Red Cross.
