Opening night at Trash Fashion

http://www.sciencemuseum.org.uk/

Britain loves high-street fashion. Tempted by rock-bottom prices we’re buying a third more clothing than we did a decade ago. But fast-changing fashions mean over a million tonnes of textile waste end up in landfill each year. This new exhibition investigates how the latest design and technology will help to create wear without waste and what we all can do to reduce the impact of throwaway fashion.

Antenna has been established with the founding support of SITA Trust and the Royal Commission for the Exhibition of 1851, with additional support from EADS and The Royal Academy of Engineering.
