Description

Discover your inner designer (and contemplate ways to reduce the colossal amounts of waste produced by the wear-it-once/throw-it-out fashion garment industry) in a workshop-performance hybrid in which you are invited to create the unique fashion statement of your dreams from old clothes and textile waste. Artists will be on hand to help you realise your creation with demonstrations, assistance and nimble thimbles.

Participants of all ages are welcome, and no previous fashion experience is necessary. If you can operate a safety pin, you’re halfway there!

Participants are encouraged to showcase their creation.
A runway show will happen every hour on the hour. Music. An audience. This is your time to shine.

Lampooning the fashion industry while reclaiming the catwalk as an inclusive, celebratory space of creative expression, Fast Fashun'melds art therapy, improvisational theatre and visual art making to create interactive installations in which audiences come face-to-face with the waste produced by the fast fashion industry.

Fast Fashun is an experimental art collective from Naarm (Melbourne) creating large-scale installations, performances, and public interventions that unravel the threads of consumer culture through satire, spectacle, and sustainability.

Fast Fashun comprises of core members Teneille Clerke and Famous Artist Sebastian Berto and is supported by a wider artistic network of creatives and community members. The collective uses fashion waste as both material and metaphor – turning the remnants of the fast fashion industry into participatory worlds where audiences cut, rip, pin, and strut their way through the ruins of excess.

Fast Fashun’s work sits at the intersection of theatre, visual art, and social practice, blending humour and accessibility to create spaces that are playful, reflective, and community-driven. Their projects centre queer and disabled experiences as the norm, and from this place, everyone is welcome.
