In 2022, our team worked diligently with local fashion designers and curators, alongside the organization Sustainable Youth Canada, to organize a fashion show dedicated to questioning the norms of consumer culture and fast fashion. As a multimedia show, models walked on the runway in outfits carefully curated from accessible & sustainable sources (Effe, WAKEMAN, Snobshop, and Magasin du Chainon).

The center of the runway held a sculpture piece composed of waste materials created by local artist Malcolm Adamson, and the finale of the show cumulated in a moving performance art piece by multimedia artist Jan van Esch, illustrating the weight and strain which the fashion industry places on our planet. 

​

With this project, our team set out to challenge current consumer standard, present alternatives in a high-fashion setting, and provide lens for self-reflection in the context of consumption for the viewer.
