Using message-adorned clothes, 'Subversive Catwalks', shop window displays, clothes swaps, film and workshops a:dress raises awareness about fast fashion's devastating impact on the planet and provides alternatives to fast purchasing and fast disposal of clothes.

a:dress takes Folkestone streets by storm with a Sew-In and a ‘subversive catwalk’ of customised, message-emblazoned clothes. Come and embellish an evening dress with cut up plastic bottles and see your work in a future Subversive Catwalk. Chat and share ideas of what we can do in the town to slow down fast fashion and save the planet, then take a stroll to the Oxfam bookshop to see a re-worked garment by local designer and fashion activist, Marina Milendia.
