Hosted by UTS and Partners & Climate Action Week Sydney
Registration
About Event
Join us for an inspiring showcase highlighting innovative approaches to textile waste reduction in collaboration with fashion brand DISSH. This event celebrates the creative outcomes of a unique project where DISSH provided faulty returns—garments unsuitable for resale—to one UTS Honours student and four final-year students from TAFE Fashion Design Studio.
These students transformed the discarded pieces into stunning new designs, which will be displayed on mannequins during the event.
The evening will feature a panel discussion hosted by Lisa Lake, with insights from:
Joanne Gale (Senior Designer, DISSH) – TBC
Athena Savvas (Sustainability Manager, DISSH)
Isabella Harris (UTS Honours student)
TAFE FDS student – TBC
