Join us 25 April for Circular Fashion Insights, Styling, Clothes Swap and Mingle!
The Swedish Chamber's Young Professionals, in collaboration with Edge Workspace, is thrilled to announce the return of our highly successful Clothes Swap event, focusing on Circular Fashion. Mark your calendars for April 25th at Edge Stadium in Amsterdam, as we gather to explore the importance of circular fashion and embark on an evening of interactive and fun-filled experiences.
Last year’s Clothes Swap event was a hit, and we’re excited to build on its success. We invite our members, associates, and coworkers from Edge to join us for what promises to be an enlightening blend of a social After Work gathering and a sustainable fashion-forward exploration. Discover why circular fashion is not just a trend but a vital aspect of sustainable living.
Emma Wergeland, Project Leader for Young Professionals at the Swedish Chamber, emphasizes the significance of sustainability within our organization's focus areas:
"In our Young Professionals program, we strive to organize engaging events that raise awareness about integrating sustainability into our professional as well as daily lives."
This event exemplifies our commitment to fostering understanding and action toward sustainable fashion practices. At this year's Clothes Swap event, we are thrilled to welcome Andrea Orsag from MissionC, who will guide us in reimagining our relationship with fashion and highlight the transformative power of conscious consumer behaviour. Additionally, a professional stylist will be on hand to help you curate the perfect spring wardrobe from the swapped items.
“The success of our Clothes Swap event of course depends on the enthusiastic participation of our Young Professional members and coworkers. By bringing in an item of clothing to exchange, you not only contribute to the circular economy but also gain the opportunity to refresh your wardrobe sustainably, without any cost” Emma says.
Join us on April 25th as we come together to celebrate fashion, sustainability, and community at the Clothes Swap event!
