✂️ This is what the future of fashion looks like

✂️ At this year's Slow Fashion Week at The Dome we featured 20 of our young students on the runway

✂️ Each designed, made and modelled the garments that they are wearing

✂️ Everything was created from textile waste - they used unsellable denim and mens shirts donated by our local Oxfam shop, tent fabric salvaged from a broken festival tent, broken umbrellas donated by The Free Shop, ring pulls from cans and old 70's bed sheets..

✂️ With massive thanks to our incredibly talented students, Oxfam London Road, the Resourceful Goddess at The Free Shop and Malcom the talented photographer

✂️ We are Brighton Fashion Collective and we produce Slow Fashion Week in Brighton

✂️ We run seven after school and home ed classes per week and a school holiday program including our Sustainable Fashion School - next one (with availability is February half term) check out our classes

✂️ Dressmaking With A Difference is a new course that we're running this academic year and it's proved so popular that we have introduced a second group in the afternoon

✂️ Held over six separate sessions you will be guided through the process of making yourself a garment or a series of garments

✂️ The difference with this course - hence the name - is that it takes place once a month, over the colder months. We have designed this so that course participants can sew between sessions, and potentially make multiple garments with our regular tuition and guidance.

✂️ Students will have the opportunity to get to know each other and the tutor well in our cosy and welcoming studio environment

✂️ If you can thread and use a sewing machine to a basic level this course is for you!

✂️ Our class sizes are small so that you receive lots of tuition during every class. Each student works on their own table with their own Janome sewing machine. We have overlockers, all the tools, a really big range of patterns and books and ideas for projects

✂️ Our morning sessions are fully booked and but have a few spaces left for our afternoon sessions - booking now

✂️ Head over to our website to find out more and book your place

♻️ Check out the sustainable office shirts we helped to create for our friends at Rampion wind farm

♻️ The brief was sustainable office wear, so we sourced a range of second hand plaid shirts and used the excellent embroidery service at Inglis Works

♻️ Need some sustainable work wear? We could do this for your team too if you're interested!
