A NEW fashion concept is making its way to Oswestry and raising awareness of sustainable clothing.

Lizzie Dibble has launched the shared wardrobe project ‘With Love From…’ in Oswestry and is working with businesses across the town to support the Fashion Revolution movement.

Tonight, Tuesday April 25, at 7.30pm, the project is partnering with Kinokulture, Oswestry’s independent cinema, to bring the screening of the film Fashion Reimagined to the town.

Lizzie said: “In 2018, Fashion Revolution created a 10-point manifesto outlining their vision for a global fashion industry that conserves and restores the environment and values people over growth and profit.

“Since then, over 14,000 people around the world have signed their names in support of this vision.

“This year Fashion Revolution is encouraging everyone to be curious, find out and do something around each manifesto point during Fashion Revolution Week.”

On Thursday evening (April 27) and throughout the day on Saturday (April 29) With Love From… is hosting its first series of pop-up shops at Hadleigh Works co-working centre in the top floor at the Memorial Hall, Oswestry.

At these unique shopping events visitors will be able to donate items, collect points, browse the shared wardrobe of more than 200 items and speak to the project’s re-imagine team about repairs, alterations and customisations to clothing.

She continued: “At With Love From… our vision is to create a shared wardrobe of occasion-wear, for a community of conscientious shoppers.

“People are being encouraged to donate party clothing, footwear and accessories to a shared wardrobe.

“For each piece you donate, you will earn points which can be redeemed at our pop-up shops.

“We have been collecting donations for just over two months and we have already received more than 200 beautiful items from just 25 people, which shows many ‘spare’ items of clothing so many of us have available to share.”

Every year, Fashion Revolution hosts a week-long, international campaign calling for a fair, safe, transparent and accountable fashion industry.

This year Fashion Revolution Week runs from April 22 to April 29. The theme for this year’s Fashion Revolution Week is Manifesto for a Fashion Revolution.
