Fashion: ‘How my challenge to stop buying new clothes has gone’

Clothes swapping events are becoming more popular, particularly among students and young people.

I went to one in Cardiff organised by youth climate and peace ambassadors, where I donated five items and picked up a jacket and a skirt. They also had a catwalk show, modelling clothes they had made and upcycled.

It was really refreshing to speak to such a motivated group of young women, including Menna and Yolay, who understand the importance of supporting sustainable fashion.

Menna said: “I know I have lots of clothes at home that are amazing quality. They’re really nice, but I just don’t wear them enough. So we thought if we do a clothes swap. It gives new life to clothing items.”

Yolay said: “I think a big thing as well is, you don’t see a lot of clothes swaps in Wales and I think we definitely wanted to bring one to Cardiff.

“I just think sustainable clothing is the new way forward. It’s financially cheaper and it’s also more rewarding to be able to say I found this  piece and it’s sustainable.”
