THE TEAM
We champion Western Australia's best
Born in Western Australia and built on a shared vision to:
The Circular Fashion Festival is run by the Circular Fashion Council and led by board and committee members Hazel Law, Heidy Sands, Elsa Durward and Charlie Smith.
Born in Western Australia and built on sass, substance and serious purpose, Circular Fashion Festival exists to:
-
Showcase trailblazing circular designers and slow fashion innovators
-
Shift consumer behaviour through joy, not guilt
-
Spark curiosity, creativity and connection
-
Make circular fashion mainstream, not niche
In a world overrun with fast fashion there is another way, through conscious consumption, learning to love our clothes and ourselves. We’re imperfect on purpose, perfection isn’t the point, progress is.
Whether you’re a designer, mender, or conscious consumer, or just curious, welcome to the revolution.
