About:

You probably know the statistics: global clothing production has roughly doubled in just 15 years, and every year an estimated 300,000 tonnes of used clothing ends up in UK landfill.

Fast fashion is the ultimate toxic relationship. It's bad news for the planet, our brains and our bank balances. We can't go on like this; our shopping habits need an overhaul. Journalist Lauren Bravo loves clothes more than anything, but she's called time on her affair with fast fashion in search of a slower, saner way of dressing.

How To Break Up With Fast Fashion will help you to change your mindset, fall back in love with your wardrobe and embrace more sustainable ways of shopping - from the clothes swap to the charity shop. Full of refreshing honesty and realistic advice, Lauren will inspire you to repair, recycle and give your unloved items a new lease of life without sacrificing your style.

​

Lauren Bravo writes about fashion, food, pop culture, feminist and life for Grazia, Refinery 29, Stylist, Time Out and The Guardian.

On the night we will also be hearing from other game changers across the gamut of fashion sustainability - from emerging fashion labels to queens of vintage fashion. Plus sustainable fashion on sale, clothes swap and more.

 

The night will be not-for-profit. Proceeds will be donated to women’s charities. This month we are raising money for investigating women’s charity UN Women which has established a fund to address the needs of Ukrainian women and girls, by working closely with women’s civil society organisations, the UN Resident Coordinator, and the UN Country Team to deliver aid on the ground.
