Ana-Luisa Teixeira an Joy Hellers from Rethink Your Clothes joined Tom on the Breakfast show to talk about the work that their organization does to promote sustainable fashion in Luxembourg ahead of the 2nd edition of their upcycled fashion show that takes place on the 26th of April at Abbey Neumunster in Luxembourg City,
Rethink Your Clothes is a collaboration between Caritas and Fairtrade Luxembourg. Two organisations that work in different ways to promote sustainability in Luxembourg. Joy reminds us that as well as fair trade coffee and chocolate, there is fair trade cotton and that buying clothes with the fair trade certificate can ensure that there haven't been human rights abuses in the supply chain of our clothes. Under the Caritas banner, Ana-Luisa operates the Letz refashion centre in Luxembourg city, a hub for everything to do with upcycling and giving new life to used clothes which can often be a sustaianbable alternative to buying new clothes.
On the 26th of April Rethink your clothes will hold the 2nd edition of their upcycled fashion fashion show at the Abbey Neumunster. The show will feature clothes made by fashion desginers from Luxembourg, France, germany, belgium and Ghana who work in a sustainable manner using second hand and upcycled fabric.
