Gaia – Mother Earth Fashion Re-Made sustainable fashion show.
In Spring 2024, we invited local designers to apply to take part in a Kirkstall Art Trail first, an up-cycled Fashion Show. They each had a budget of £30 to spend at Kirkstall’s Cancer Research Superstore, where many of the items cost just £3. They were tasked to transform these second-hand clothes into fabulous new outfits.
The show comes with a powerful message for everyone, hence the reference to Mother Earth. At a time when the fashion industry is estimated to be the third most polluting industry in the world. It is a timely reminder that changing our lifestyle habits, to help out planet, is crucial.
