House of Fast Fashun

It’s faaarshun, darling! But not as you know it… 

You are invited to create fun new outfits out of clothing waste and become the designer, the maker, and the catwalk model. No experience necessary: If you can use a safety pin, you’re halfway there!  

Join the Fast Fashun team rummaging through the piles of discarded clothing, creating wild couture looks and presenting a runway show every hour. 

Fashion houses are where designers and their teams create collections of work. They are synonymous with expression, creativity, collaboration and community. We lampoon the idea and create a temporary sculpture in the shape of a house out of clothing and textile waste. The house forms the centrepiece of the installation then the performance happens around it. We reclaim the fashion catwalk as an inclusive, celebratory space of creative expression.  

This is a safe and inclusive space to learn and create, watch or participate. All supplies are provided; you just need to bring your creativity.
