Sustainable Fashion: Creating a Capsule Wardrobe & Clothing Swap

Join us for an engaging Learning Lab Series event focused on sustainable fashion, intentional style, and community connection.This interactive session will be led by Julia Ravindran, Associate Professor of Fashion Design at Marymount University, who will guide attendees through the principles of building a capsule wardrobe, a curated collection of versatile, timeless pieces that reduce waste, save money, and simplify everyday dressing.

Following the learning portion, participants are invited to take part in a free clothing swap, creating an opportunity to refresh your professional wardrobe sustainably while connecting with others in the community.
