Sustainable Fashion Competition



RRC.AP advocates for World Environment Day (WED), which is celebrated annually in June, and is the United Nations' principal vehicle for encouraging awareness and action for the protection of the environment. This year’s World Environment Day will focus on 3 major themes, namely: Climate Nature Chemicals & Pollution.

In this years’ World Environment Day RRCAP is organizing the competition on sustainable fashion to motivate our AIT Community in reusing and reducing the textile wastes in daily lives by recycling/upscaling their used clothes.  The competition utilizes the concept of ‘do it yourself’ (D.I.Y.) to turn your old, obsolete, and unwanted clothes into trendy and fashionable items, and hence minimize the textile wastes. This competition will encourage participants to think out of the box, use their creativity and talents in fashion-design, and take a step to sustainability.
