'My Sister's Wardrobe' is a regular event in Melbourne, a way to reinvigorate one's wardrobe through swapping clothes with others. The idea is everyone brings along a few of their garments they no longer wear, but think that other people may value. Then, using buttons as currency, it's possible to 'purchase' a few delights that were hiding in other people's wardrobes.
To me this clothes swap idea has it all - a way to share your once-treasured garments with others, tell the story behind the garment, find a vintage treasure perhaps... and 'shop' in a sustainable way.
Now it is arriving in Sydney: 7pm Tuesday July 8th, 10a Fitzroy Pl, Surry Hills (upstairs, off Crown St).
