Fashion event celebrates local fibres

HAWKERS Farm, Stour

Provost, is hosting the first of what is hoped to be an annual event – it is called Defashion Dorset .

The event will be an opportunity to celebrate local fibre growers and makers and a local clothing culture.

We buy locally grown food to support farmers so why don’t we consider buying locally grown clothing?

According to Climate Words, “To ‘Defashion’ is to combat the fashion industry’s role in the climate crisis and transition to regenerative and fair clothing systems.”

We will be welcoming 20 or so exhibitors, including: Jo Nash Textiles, Tamarisk Farm,

Snooks Farm Alpacas, Blue Barn Life, Townhill Studios –Shibori tie-dye, Vintage Maid, Haberdashery, Second to None and Joanna Jenkins vintage clothing.

Workshops will teach methods of enhancing, embellishing and mending clothing, including a weaving workshop with Tabby & Tweed. There will be talks, films, refreshments and on the 26th, a solar powered disco.

Friday, 26th May – 10am to 5pm, plus evening film and a solar disco that runs from 6pm to 10.30pm

Saturday, 27th May – opens at 10am, closes at 5pm Jennifer Morisetti: defashion. dorset@gmail.com
