Doors open 6pm for pre-show drinks and nibbles. Admission is FREE! Come and join our fabulous designers who have worked so hard to create their ab-fab collections.

The stunning pink dress is from Tango & James designer Lisa Barrett. LOOOVE this colour!
The gorgeous black number is one of Zoe Turketo's creations from her graduation collection, while this great gold necklace is from textile artist Tamara Russell.

All three designers along with Chris Murray (alas no images available as yet) and yours truly will showcase collections in the third Re-Loved Creations fashion extravaganza next month.

3 Designers: One Mission

Designers Hanny Dewar, Lee Dewar (centre) and Tamara Russell have one thing in common. They are dedicated to the recycling cause. Bringing awareness to the need for more sustainable practices in the fashion industry is their mission. The Sustainable Careers Expo 2010 was held on Wednesday at the ANU and though the crowd was relatively small, the message was heard loud and clear. RE-USE, RE-INVENT and of course RE-LOVE!

Re-Loved at the ANU Sustainable Careers Expo

We were invited to participate in the Green fashion parade at the Sustainable Careers Expo held at the Australian National University (ANU to us locals) on Wednesday 18 August 2010. It was a fairly casual affair but we had lots of fun. 3 of our Re-Loved designers: Lee Dewar, Tamara Russell and yours truly, presented collections, created from reclaimed, upcycled and recycled materials, promoting the need for sustainability in the fashion industry.

Time is ticking....

Our designers are working hard to have their collections looking ab-fab for the next instalment from Re-Loved Creations. Re-Loved: Re-Vamped will be another smash hit if the previews of works in progress are anything to go on.

Here's a tiny sneak peek at what you'll see from Hanny-d Creations.
