We're a community group made up of passionate individuals and led by two local non-profit organisations - Brighton Peace & Environment Centre, a long-standing local environmental charity, and Sew Fabulous, a sustainable sewing and textiles studio and Community Interest Company.
Our mission is to champion sustainable fashion initiatives locally and to amplify national and international campaigns. Each year, we produce Slow Fashion Week at Brighton’s iconic Dome and host a diverse range of events throughout the year. All our work is dedicated to fostering a more sustainable and ethical approach to fashion.
