Swishing parties are growing in popularity as the recession continues to tighten purse strings
Clothes swapping, known as ‘swishing’, is the latest fashion trend sweeping the nation, as women everywhere recycle and swap unwanted clothes. According to bigwardrobe.com people don’t wear a quarter of the items in their wardrobes, so they’ve started The Big Swish, a series of clothes swapping events all around the country.
Starting in Leeds in September last year, a team of designers, stylists and models are touring the UK over the next 12 months to prove you don’t have to spend a penny to be on-trend. Lucy Shea who created the concept of Swishing told Sky News, ‘Swishing is for women who love their clothes so much they want to give them a new home. An added benefit is that it could reduce the 900,000 tons of shoes and clothes thrown away in the UK each year, 75% of which ends up in landfill or is burned’.
With National Clothes Swapping week running from 19-24 February, women everywhere are being encouraged to organise their own clothes swapping parties. As well as getting something for nothing, you’ll refresh your wardrobe and help the environment too! Visit www.bigwardrobe.com to find out more.
