It’s been a week of radical runways, visible mending, and re-thinking what our wardrobes can (and should) look like. Brighton’s Slow Fashion Week – the city-wide celebration of style with a conscience from Brighton Fashion Collective – has been popping up everywhere from galleries to charity shops with talks, workshops and intimate flash catwalks.
Now it all comes to a head this Saturday (27th September), when the Dome plays host to a day-long takeover of sustainable style. Expect three runway shows packed with local designers and students, a bustling marketplace of Brighton’s most inventive slow fashion makers, and the city’s biggest clothes swap (book a spot, bring five pieces, leave with a new-to-you wardrobe).
Plus, if you’ve ever fancied giving your jeans a Japanese Sashiko stitching glow-up or screen-printing with natural dyes, the Sew Fabulous pop-up studio is running repair and upcycling workshops throughout the day.
It’s slow, it’s sustainable, it’s very Brighton – and the perfect way to round off a week that proves fashion can be creative, communal AND kinder to the planet.
Monday 22nd – Saturday 27th September; from £2.50
