Fashion for Social Change

Fashion can be a force for social change—if we design it that way.

In this Lambeth Climate Day talk, Trash Gxng CIC shares a real case study showing how we move beyond fast fashion and align decisions with ESG and the UN Sustainable Development Goals—especially SDG 4 (Quality Education), SDG 8 (Decent Work), SDG 12 (Responsible Consumption and Production) and SDG 13 (Climate Action).

We’ll walk you through our three‑part model:

1. Co‑designed by youth—young people at the creative centre, building tangible skills and confidence.
2. Tight, limited, high‑value drops—a capsule of 5–7 core items built for longevity and repair.
3. Made‑to‑order or small‑batch—right‑sizing production to avoid unsold stock.

This is a story of what’s possible—not a technical workshop. Expect visuals, behind the scenes moments, and honest reflections. You’ll leave with practical ways to spot progress in your own wardrobe, support youth‑led creativity, and back fashion that’s fairer and lower‑waste. (And yes, look for our banner stand!)
