RE: Fashion

12 weeks. 12 themes. A whole new way to wear fashion.

RE:Fashion is a mobile clothes swap and repair pop-up that invites you to slow down, reconnect with your clothes and learn practical skills that reduce textile your  waste, without sacrificing your personal style.

RE:Fashion is launching with 12-weeks of free activation at Yagan Square, combining hands on repair, themed clothes swaps, learning moments and sewing support, through a program that makes engaging in circular fashion moments sociable, easy and fun.

Whether you are a seasoned thrifter, a DIY enthusiast, or someone curious about how to make your wardrobe last a lifetime, there is a place for you here.

Every Thursday from March 12 – May 28, join us:

10am - 1pm | Re:Wear Swap
Refresh your wardrobe without the 'new' price tag. 

• Check the theme: Ensure your items match the weekly theme (e.g., Week 1 is Everyday Essentials, Week 2 is Timeless Pieces).
• Quality first: Bring up to 5 items. They must be clean, free of major damage, and in a condition you’d be proud to give to a friend.
• Token system: For every item you bring that passes our quality check, you’ll receive a token to "spend" on a new-to-you treasure from the racks

12pm - 1pm | Re:Pair Bar
Expert help with buttons, hems, zips and getting your swapped items “just right”.

Got a garment in need of some love? Our Repair Bar is staffed by local experts ready to help you extend the life of your clothes by giving in you the skills to do these repairs yourself in the future.

• Small fixes like buttons and loose seams can be handled on the spot.
• Find something you LOVE at the RE:Wear Swap but it needs a little extra something to make it perfect? Take it along to the RE:Pair Bar for a cheeky alteration.

Machines, basic tools and guidance are provided. You’re welcome to bring your own item to work on.

1.30pm - 4pm | Re:Learn Lab 
Weekly workshops and talks from local change-makers.

Each week during RE:Fashion, we’re offering a free, guided sewing machine session aligned to that week’s theme.

These sessions are ideal if you:

• Want help repairing or altering a garment.
• Are new to sewing machines.
• Need support but not a full course.
• Want to build confidence using equipment.

We'll also have special guest makers each week.
