Samples from our Garment Construction workshops
Last Thursday saw The V&A Museum of Childhood team up with The Papered Parlour to hold "Ethical Fashion in the Age of Austerity" event. A mini festival of fair trade celebrating slow fashion.
There was a selection of London's finest crafty types, with workshops, talks and live performances throughout the night. Fashion Antidote had a stall and work shop there, to make a skirt from mens shirts. It was a great success, and those who took part were really pleased with the outcome. Including Kirby Stebbing, who then blogged about her experience. It was a heart warming story for us back in the office Monday morning, more about her to come.

The workshop in full swing
Other stalls included Tatty Devine, Shoreditch Sisters, and many others while there was live music performances and talks happening including paper dress exhibits. The one I did happen to catch was Katie Antoniou who showed off some vintage styling.

The event was part of Time Outs first Thursday's with an expected crowd of 400, 900 turned up, so it was a great success.
