Wasted Fashion

​♻️ Wasted Fashion: Designing a Future Without Waste | Panel + Showcase + Networking

​Wasted Fashion is a student-led initiative. It is a design competition that explores waste-less fashion system.

​Not theory. Real materials, real constraints, real decisions.

​Join us for an evening that brings together students, designers, and industry voices to question how sustainability is taught and how it shows up in practice.
