Bring your chic but unloved fashion items to swap with ones you will love at our Swishing event.

Chaired by fashion writer and broadcaster Caryn Franklin, experts including Katharine E Hamnett and Lucy Siegle debate the future for sustainable fashion. Watch our glamorous eco fashion show presented by Orsola de Castro. Join the style surgery seminars to find out whats eco hot on the high street or how to restyle your wardrobe. A day dedicated to your fashion choices and the principles and practicalities of ethical fashion.
