My Ultimate Tag

2024

Ever wondered who made your clothes? How much were they paid? Where do the materials come from?! In this workshop,  you are asked to craft your “ultimate swing tag”,  a small yet impactful piece attached to clothing, revealing the story behind the garment and demanding answers to crucial questions many fashion brands refuse to answer.

With guidance, you will craft swing tags that serve as powerful symbols of accountability and conscious consumerism.

Join forces with like-minded individuals and assert your desires for transparency and sustainability from fashion brands.

In collaboration with Leah Gaynor.

This workshop was designed for Fair Fashion Fest 2024 .
