Sustainable Fashion Show to Celebrate Climate-Conscious Clothing
The Charleston Climate Coalition (CCC) will host the “Give Me Green Sustainable Fashion Show” from 7 pm to 9 pm on Wednesday, March 16th at Society Hall, located at 72 Meeting Street in downtown Charleston.
Tickets are $25, with a $20 student option. Doors open at 6:30 pm. Mask and proof of Covid-19 vaccination are required.
The centerpiece of the event will be a fashion show featuring sustainable outfits designed by eleven local climate-conscious clothing shops. The event will kick off with keynote speaker Prof. Louise Doire on the connections between sustainability and fashion, and close with a designer panel discussion discussing sustainable fashion trends, the circulation of textiles and circular economies, designers’ experience as leaders in the Charleston fashion scene, and their visions for a future where style supports well being for the planet and people.
The event will also feature a plant-based charcuterie spread from Nordic Cooking, drinks from Freehouse Brewing and Huriyali, and music from DJ Moldybrain. Attendance is capped at 100, so it’s recommended that folks try to buy their tickets ahead of time.
The local clothing shops fielding outfits include: Riciclare by Livasey, Closet Case Thrift, Billy Thrift Shop, High Tied Dyes, Cassie’s Shop, Portal, True Lucia, Maude Couture, Local Love CHS, Farside Vintage, Open Road Vintage Co..
Alison Craig, Climate Alliance Director with the Charleston Climate Coalition, will introduce the event and explain its connection to CCC’s Climate Alliance campaign.
