Plymouth University students are promoting the purchase of fairly traded and ethically sourced stuff with their Ethical Threads Fashion Show on Thursday, March 11, from 7pm.
Formerly known at the Fairtrade Fashion Show, Ethical Threads takes place in the Student Union, aims to make you think about where your clothes come from while stimulate your style synapses to think vintage, organic cotton, recycled fabrics, Fairtrade and the ultimate in recycling, charity shop chic!
There will be a range of stalls selling clothing and other ethically sourced goods.
