Wear & Care

Wear & Care

Long Story, Short

An exploration into methods of fashion “rewilding” in Brunswick. Gathering locals, retailers, and researchers to learn about and encourage practices that mend, repair and share clothing to build a local response towards a new fashion system.

What We’re Exploring

‘Wear & Care’ considers Brunswick’s future as a creative fashion district by exploring methods of fashion “rewilding” accessible to the community. The changing fashion landscape depends on shifting values and approaches to transform how we produce and consume to new positive ways of experiencing fashion that aligns people and planet. Local fashion “rewilding” supports new cultures in how we better use, make and recreate clothing. The project will include local workshops, community discussions, surveys and exhibitions supporting existing sustainable fashion practices in Brunswick, alongside shareable resources and fashion forums with RMIT School of Fashion & Textiles exploring emerging research.
