As part of Wandsworth Arts Fringe 2025, this fashion show displayed the diverse talents of the people of Wandsworth who have reimagined and repurposed clothes to give them a second life.
The Remaykit fashion show demonstrated the skill and passion of sewers, knitters and menders who believe in the positive impact that upcycling clothes has on reducing pollution and landfill, while knowing a creative hobby can be good for health and wellbeing.
The Fashion Show was hosted by The Bedford in Balham. First built in 1931, The Bedford has recently undergone a multi-million pound refurbishment to create an unrivalled pub, club, restaurant, live music and entertainment venue.
Ross Barry, co-founder of Reskinned, a company built on over two decades of experience in the recycling industry, will be speaking about the future of textile recycling. He’ll explore the transformative changes happening in circular fashion - and how these shifts are set to revolutionise the way we buy, wear, and think about fashion.
With fast fashion now responsible for over 10% of global carbon emissions—more than the shipping and aviation industries combined—the environmental cost of throwaway trends is becoming impossible to ignore. The industry’s rapid growth over the past few decades has sparked urgent questions about its impact on our planet, health, and wellbeing.
