Sustainable, second-hand fashion takes centre stage in Malvern this weekend.
Local charity, Malvern Green Space, presents its annual Sustainable Fashion Show on Saturday (November 4) at 7pm, taking place in the Malvern Cube.
Building on the success of last year's event, organisers are infusing the usual catwalk flair with a twist - all exhibited outfits are either preloved or upcycled.
The fashion show, themed 'colours', aims to demonstrate how sustainability and style can go hand in hand.
Models ranging from four to 64-years-old will strut the runway in a display of repurposed fashion.
Among them are members of Malvern Cube Youth Group, representing the future of sustainable fashion.
Creative Director of the show, Sue Dakin, is thrilled about the opportunity to inspire those keen on reducing their fashion footprint.
She said: "We're so excited to present this show, to inspire everyone who is interested in reducing their fashion footprint but still wants to have fun and look fabulous.
"Fast fashion has such a devastating environmental impact.
"We want to show how you don't need to waste money and resources on newly manufactured disposable items, we can all save money and look amazing by buying second-hand or repairing and reinventing existing garments."
Fashion's environmental impact is indeed undeniable, with experts estimating that the industry is the source of up to 10 per cent of global carbon emissions, and uses nearly 3000 litres of water to make an average cotton t-shirt.
Fashion is also treated as disposable despite its environmental impact, with a lorry's worth of unwanted textiles finding its way into landfill or incineration sites every second.
Nadia Abdo, Chair of Trustees at Malvern Green Space, highlighted the charity's commitment to sustainable living.
She said: "Malvern Green Space is all about reducing waste and helping our community to thrive in more sustainable ways.
"Our Sustainable Fashion Show is just one of the community-based activities we are running to help the local community in Malvern to reduce waste and increase climate resilience."
Tickets can be purchased at the door of the Malvern Cube, on a 'pay what you can' basis.
