Chicfashic Details
Chicfashic is a unique platform where education, community and shopping meet to promote awareness and social change in fashion consumption, and to provide an alternative shopping tool to fast fashion.The unique feature of the platform is that individuals meet up locally in order to exchange their items this eliminates pollution generated by the many layers of packaging that create masses of waste and consume a lot of resources and removes emissions from packaging and shipping.This creates a sense of bonding and brings those with a similar mindset closer together and helps to spread awareness on environmental justice and sustainability. Shipping garments also means alienation and isolation of people. Chicfashic instead creates a sense of purpose and belonging that will shift consumerist mindsets.Chicfashic's educational program ranges from practical workshops to lecturers. The practical workshops deliver quick and easy sewing skills that will save and extend the life of our clothes. Lectures provide insights into the entire supply chain, from raw materials to finished products addressing critical issues, such as working conditions, pesticides usage, water consumption, deforestation and waste reduction. Alongside we teach people the inner value of the different types of textile fibres and the importance of disposing clothing properly saving them from becoming general waste and thus incineration and making them available for recycling.Chicfashic also strengthen local economies since offer the possibilities to second hand stores that don't have their on website shop to use the platform too reduce footprints (80% of the the items they doesn't sell go to incineration).Chicfashic mission is to change how people consume clothing by creating an educational dialogue on fast fashion issues and building local and global sustainable fashion communities that can maximize the circulation of clothes and accessories as well as their inherent value.
