On average, Hong Kong people set aside 11% of the monthly expenditure for fashion (Redress, 2020), while when dealing with a large number of idle clothes, the improper methods may cause harm to the environment. This short video introduces three effective ways of recycling old clothes, through which consumers can find a balance between fashion and sustainability.
Combined with the concept of sustainable fashion, many clothes in our closets can gain a second chance in life through recycling like donating, reselling, redesigning, or upcycling. For example, the “Get Redressed Month” campaign encourages people to recycle old clothes to make them last longer. Hong Kong designer Toby Crispy founded the personal brand LastbutnotLeast and Fashion Clinic to help consumers repair and redesign old clothes. Garment to Garment Recycle System makes old sweaters and T-shirts into new garments or sanitary and useful textiles. These creative practices that are based on the sustainable fashion concept help us expand our thinking of reusing clothing, making it feasible to take responsibility for the environment while pursuing fashion.
