Upcycle for the Climate: The Upcycled Fashion Forum & Mixer

Join The NYC Fair Trade Coalition and Reclypt for an all-day upcycled fashion love fest. They’ll kick off the festivities with a brief presentation on upcycling (whether you’re new to this or have been upcycling for years, you’re sure to learn sometime)!

Afterward, they’ll host a panel discussion (Reduce, Reuse, Repurpose: How Fashion Waste Contributes to Climate Change) on why upcycled fashion is the future of fashion for both its unique style and climate-friendly practices, followed by a documentary screening of “Upcyclers.”

Next, you’ll hear from local upcycled fashion brands themselves about how and why they chose upcycling. Finally, they’ll wrap up the educational portions with closing remarks, then the music is turned up so you can mingle, shop, and enjoy vegan treats and juices to continue upcycling for the climate.
