Sustainable style bible Peppermint magazine has joined hands with Billy Blue College of Design to present Tailoring Tomorrow. The event discusses skills and ideas for designers and future graduates to make their creations sustainable and ethical in practical ways.
Sharing their wisdom will be designers from ethical fashion labels Alas (sleepwear), Sosume (organic basics) and Rachel Cassar (high end/couture) as well as representatives from TFIA’s Textile and Fashion Hub and Ethical Clothing Australia. Tailoring Tomorrow will also host a mini fashion and fabric market and offer local organic canapés and cocktails. It’s happening from 6-10pm on Thursday Jan 17th at Donkey Wheel House, 673 Bourke St, Melbourne. You can purchase tickets here and half the ticket price will go to Kiva, a micro-lending charity.

I want to start a design degree next year and I would love this inspiring event
In 2013 I’d like to add a sustainable range of products to my online kids clothing store and I’d love to attend to get the creative ideas flowing!
I want to attend because I am interested in events, fashion and design. So this seems like a good opportunity to meet like minded people.
