As part of Fashion Revolution Week @fashionrevolutionaustralia - one of the worldās largest fashion activism movements - Fashion & Sustainability Coordinator Tamara Leacock @pigmentpedagogy hosted a Healing Stitch Workshop, inviting students and staff to repair their old clothes through slow stitching, decorative mending and visible repair techniques. These approaches transform worn garments into unique, expressive pieces.
We were also lucky to welcome two fashion alumni, Callum Amor @amend.amor and Chinglaing Heng @reawakenlabel , who demonstrated their techniques and shared their knowledge in the art of repairing and reimagining clothing.
