Sustainable Fashion Matterz

With this charity rental campaign we aim to raise awareness of the place most people don’t think about when purchasing a new (fast fashion) item. It will educate about Kantamanto, one of the places where our clothes end up when we think we do something good by donating them to a charity collection bin. By opening the wardrobes of influencers Blogger Bazaar, Helen Fares & Lois Opoku to the public, renting, a circular way of consuming fashion is made attractive. Renters can choose between 3, 6 and 12 Day rental and get it delivered emission and packaging free straight to their door. With all rental proceeds going to the Fire Relief Fund we’re able to get them closer to their go-fund-me goal and have people looking good while doing good.

By uniting different fields of artistry under the topic of circularity, we created a visual essay that can help us understand our circular nature. The film is planned to be released mid-end August.

Have you ever seen what’s left over to go to waste after a festival? To be honest I haven’t. I’ve only even been to one festival in my life. So, little did I know; when the base stops bumping and we have found our ways home there is a whole landscape of trash left over… Or wait:
