A new sustainable fashion fair to launch in Glasgow

Hubbub’s creative partner, Sarah Divall, said: “Right now we’re dealing with a climate crisis and a cost-of-living crisis simultaneously.

“Changing our habits around what we buy and exploring more sustainable options for sprucing up our wardrobes like renting, second-hand or swapping is one of the best things we can do for the planet, and it helps reduce household budgets.

“We're proud to be bringing so many collaborators together for this event and hopefully giving the people of Glasgow a sustainable bargain in the process.”

Jam-packed itinerary

To showcase the wide variety of affordable sustainable fashion options, visitors will have a chance to swap, rent, and buy second-hand and sustainable clothing.

Visitors will have the opportunity to:

• Learn how to sew with Sew Confident
• Swap a preloved outfit in collaboration with Loanhood
• Meet the campaigners, academics and community groups exploring circular solutions to fashion's problems
• Discover local designers, second-hand gems and sustainable stores

Slow Threads will feature appearances from Fashion Revolution, LoanHood, Glasgow Caledonian University, Cancer Research U.K., and Community Couture.

Head of Marketing from ACS, Lyndsey Pell, said: "The rise of the sustainable wardrobe is growing with cultural attitudes shifting towards preloved and pre-owned fashion.

“Consumers are more conscious now than ever of the carbon footprint of their clothing and are also more motivated to rent clothing or accessories rather than buy them for special events.

“At ACS, we are proud to support opportunities encouraging people to consider the environmental implications of their fashion choices. We look forward to working with Hubbub to deliver this dynamic event."

ACS is one of the U.K.'s leading circular and sustainable fashion fulfilment facilities enabling fashion brands and retailers to join the circular economy. Hubbub is an award-winning environmental organisation that runs creative campaigns to encourage positive everyday actions for the environment.
