Sustainable Clothing Co Launch Night 2018

 Sustainable Clothing Co. launch

Saturday, October 20th, 2018 was the official launch of Sustainable Clothing Co, held at Mixed Spice Creative Studios in Adelaide. Formerly known as Lucid8 Ethical Streetwear, the ethics behind the business have changed to include a closed-loop clothing recycling system and a range of unique pre-loved clothing to choose from.

The night featured a screening of ‘The True Cost’, a shocking and powerful documentary behind the clothes we wear, the people who make those clothes and the impact it’s having on our world.

Whether you’re into following fast-fashion or not, we’re all purchasing fashion items and it’s important to have knowledge about what’s happening in the industry, and where your hard-earned money is going.

Hemp garments help prevent unnecessary textile waste, pollution and landfill by being fully bio-degradable. Although cotton is biodegradable too, hemp is also durable, breathable, highly absorbent, naturally insulated, tear-resistant and has anti-bacterial properties.

Following Laura's talk on slow fashion, there was a runway show featuring designs by Allergies Clothing, Hemp Clothing Australia, Poko Ono Upcycled Vintage, Art Over Apathy, Demian Renucci, Whatever 21, Field Of Ponies, We Are Mortals, Daniel Palillo, MaryJane Runway and TEIN Clothing all styled with POECA bags and handmade crystal jewellery by Possum.

             

Following the fashion show, break-dance crew, The Visiion, had us in awe with their special performance on the night. 

 

 

 

 

 

The winner of the raffle draw was absolutely stoked (calling it fate) to be the lucky one picked to win raffle prize!

Thank you to all those involved for making the night absolutely wonderful.
