• Mar. 2 by Yasmine Hachani (0)

The University of Birmingham will host an eco fashion show on the 12th March showing people how to ‘dress with a conscience’.

With help from the nationwide University society group People and Planet, the oldest University in Birmingham will have about twenty participants and 600 to 800 attendees.

Dudley fashion designer Lea Williams claims that it is a worthy event for any local resident to attent and that people should be thinking of their carbon footprint more when they shop.

About recycling fashion

Lea herself makes clothes out of hundred percent recycled and natural materials like curtains, people’s unwanted clothes, natural leaves, onion skin and natural sheep fleece.

She also designs jewellery, brooches, bands and hats and that to reach as many people as possible, encouraging them to dress green.

Teaching recycling fashion for a new generation of eco friendly people

To help more in preventing global warming and other related issues, Lea runs two workshops a week teaching people how to use their old stuff to produce new brand clothes.

She said that it was important for her that people use their waste to produce new things they need, instead of just getting it from the next door stores ’.

Recycling fashion’s market share and audience

Lea says that she has already sold out huge amounts of her products to local shops and individuals.

She claims that unexpectedly there were a great number of green customers who are concerned about global warming and the future of our planet.
