Mend in Public Day for Fashion Revolution Week

Angel Central is partnering with Fashion Revolution to mark  the first Mend in Public Day - a global call-to-action to make loved  clothes last.

Get ready for a day of  free repair & upcycling stations, interactive workshops and panel  discussions taking place across the piazza and Islington Climate Centre  (next to Wagamamas). You’ll be joined and guided by Street Stitching,  Colechi, Craftivist Collective and the University of East London with  more partners to be announced shortly.

Mend  in Public Day stands as a beacon of change in a world inundated with  fashion waste. By participating, you’ll be part of a global creative  action resisting the cycle of excess through repair and reuse.

We’ll  bring the sewing supplies; you bring the repair pile and enthusiasm to  mend your clothes and mend the system. All skill levels and Fashion  Revolutionaries welcome!
