Fashion Futures: Rethinking the T-shirt
What does it take to make one cotton t-shirt?
Many of us would probably think of "cotton", but the number of resources that go into making a single t-shirt goes beyond that.
Join Connected Threads Asia and our event partner, Sustainable Living Lab on the 15th January, 7pm as we explore how we can make the t-shirt more sustainable.

Swopping is the New Shopping
Clothes swaps are not only a good way to declutter and refill one's wardrobe, but are also considered a green way to reduce waste, reduce the use of natural resources, and revitalize your closet without opening your wallet!
We invite friends and friends of friends to bring their no-longer-needed garments and accessories to swap. Spend the afternoon hanging out, finding new friends, trying on new outfits, and taking pictures.
A collaboration between Fashion Revolution, Connected Threads Asia, Top Swop and Kapok.
