What if you could wear your politics—quite literally—on your sleeve? Think Act Vote, the fledgling campaign founded by Amisha Ghadiali of the Ethical Fashion Forum, endeavored to find out, first with a design competition for the perfect campaign T-shirt, then with a designer challenge that enlisted eco-fashion hotshots like Ada Zanditon, Junky Styling, and Ciel. Their mission: To customize the shirt using only leftover fabric from their previous collections. Oh and they had one week.
TEE PARTY
Think Act Vote, a London-based political-awareness campaign founded by Amisha Ghadiali, the associate director of the Ethical Fashion Forum, asked eight of Britain’s ethical and eco-fashion trailblazers—Ada Zanditon, Junky Styling, Ciel, Beautiful Soul, Tara Starlet, TRAIDremade, Nancy Dee, and Miksani—to makeover its campaign T-shirt using only leftover fabric from their collections.
“The idea behind this was to encourage creativity and show how you can use fashion to express yourself and a message,” Ghadiali says. “It’s interesting to see what you can do with a simple T-shirt.”
The pieces will make their runway debut at U.K. Aware (April 17), Alternative Fashion Week (April 21), and The Future I Choose Celebrations (May 5).
