WORN_RELICS© invites you to Beyond Green 2009!
An international symposium on sustainability and fashion.
The symposium is organised by the AMFI
(Amsterdam Fashion Institute)and ArtEZ (Institute
of the Arts) and the central theme is Good Design. Inspiring speakers will give their personal perspectives on this theme. There will also be a gallery for young designers to present work and a swap store. WORN_RELICS© will give visitors the opportunity to create a profile for a favourite piece of clothing (bring your
clothing piece and we’ll stitch in a coded WORN_RELICS© label
so you can join the online archive).
In conjunction with the
BEYOND GREEN swap store, you can also bring an item
you would like to exchange for something new. You can
write your item’s story (why and where you bought it, how
often you wore it etc.) on a special WORN_RELICS© card
which will then be passed on to the new owner*
