Change Your Clothes, Change the Climate

A cafe scientifique about the issues related to sustainable fashion and an eco-fashion show, where low-carbon
clothes were presented.
The Change your clothes, change the climate project dealt the environmental impact of clothes production and responsible consumer behaviour. The team of five Climate Advocates (Lucia Nemethyova, Bara Semerakova, Eva Hralova, Lenka Parkanova and Veronika Solisova) were inspired by the Cambridge Institute of Manufacturing study Well Dressed? The present and future sustainability of clothing and textiles in the UK. The results of the project were visually very attractive: an eco-fashion show! It started with an informal discussion with Cecilia Malvido de Rodríguez, a research Associate with Cambridge Universitys Sustainable Manufacturing Group, followed by Kate Fletcher, a British Sustainable Fashion designer. Feel the atmosphere of the catwalk!
