An evening event where old clothes will get a new lease of life is being held by The University of Sheffield accommodation services in collaboration with St Luke’s Hospice. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
There will be a sustainable fashion show hosted by Residence Life along with Accommodation and Commercial Services Green Impact, tonight, at The Edge in Endcliffe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It will promote responsible ways of shopping for clothing and textiles, with students modelling personally selected outfits from the St Luke\u2019s store on The Moor. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Prior to the show, there will be a Makers Market, where students, staff and local residents will be selling their items all made from preloved products. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
There will also be clothes swap where people can exchange old garments for something new.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sustainability Coordinator, Andrew Woffindin, who has worked closely with students and staff on the show, said it will be bigger and better last year’s successful night. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
When asked on the decision to partner with St Luke\u2019s, he said: \u201cIt\u2019s a local charity for local people. The hospice is absolutely second to none in giving care to those in their last moments.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
