Meet Dr Lorinda Cramer, Design Studio S!X - Denise Sprynskyj and Peter Boyd and fashion sustainability advocate Leeyong Soo in discussion with Curator Elizabeth Anya-Petrivna.
Join an insightful conversation with fashion designers and historians as they discuss how garments once deemed waste are redesigned and reconfigured. What is refashioning? What are the techniques, and can everyone learn these skills? From complete reconstruction to applied decoration and repurposing, the prefix ‘re’ works hard to expand our knowledge and capabilities.
Light refreshments will be provided.
