Sustainable Fashion Week is returning to the city next month.
Brighton is set to celebrate fairer and greener fashion from September 23 to 29 with panel discussions, workshops and other activities.
With the theme of "the power of repair", the Brighton Fashion Collective will be promoting more sustainable ways to enjoy fashion.
A launch party for the event will be held at the Helm Gallery in North Road, with the main event taking place at Brighton Dome on September 28, featuring a marketplace, clothes swap, upcycling workshops, styling sessions and runway shows.
Other events include a food and fashion panel talk at Terre à Terre restaurant in East Street on September 25, a beach clean on September 27 and a film screening at Depot Cinema in Lewes on September 29.
Hayley Franco, co-organiser of Brighton Fashion Collective and trustee at Brighton Peace and Environment Centre, said: “We’re delighted to once again host Sustainable Fashion Week in Brighton.
“We hope to reach thousands of local people with our events and give them the opportunity to learn how to repair their clothes, support local designers, makers and menders across the city, and approach fashion more sustainably.”
The week is being supported by cosmetics chain Lush and is part-funded by the government and Brighton and Hove City Council.
