About this Event

✂️ About this event

👗 Got clothes gathering dust in your wardrobe? Don't bin them — Pimp My Garms is your chance to breathe new life into them.

🏛️ Join us at Urban MBA for an evening of hands-on upcycling workshops, sustainability talks, and community networking. Bring a garment you no longer wear and leave with something you'll actually love. Whether you're a complete beginner or already handy with a needle, this event is for anyone who wants to give their wardrobe a second life and reduce fashion waste.

🌟 Guided by Urban MBA alumni with deep roots in sustainable fashion and textile culture, you'll learn creative upcycling techniques, hear perspectives on responsible fashion, and connect with a community of people who believe style and sustainability go hand in hand.
