This year's theme is Alternate Realities. From futuristic dreamscapes and magical worlds to wild eco-utopias and parallel lives, the theme invites students to imagine different versions of reality – and bring them to life through wearable artworks made from recycled and repurposed materials. Whether playful or powerful, conceptual or character-led, the focus is on imagination, bold thinking, and making something beautiful with limited means.
The show will feature a live catwalk in the St Chris Theatre, stalls, industry judges, and of course the legendary interval. It’s always a highlight of the creative year, and this milestone event promises to be particularly special.
This year all profits from the Recycled Fashion Show will go to the charity Village Women Dream, formed by a group of Cambodian women determined to work on their own terms.
“I started this business because I wanted to have freedom. And working here, now I have freedom. There is nobody controlling me, nobody shouting at me. My freedom isn’t limited anymore.”
