As part of Wandsworth Arts Fringe 2025, the Remaykit fashion show displayed the diverse talents of the people of Wandsworth who have reimagined and repurposed clothes to give them a second life.
The show demonstrated the skill and passion of sewers, knitters and menders who believe in the positive impact that upcycling clothes has on reducing pollution and landfill, while knowing a creative hobby can be good for health and wellbeing.
Wandsworth Arts Fringe is an annual extravaganza of arts and culture, popping up in surprising spaces all over the borough. This year was the most ambitious festival as Wandsworth became London Borough of Culture 2025.
The event was funded by Wandsworth Arts Grants Fund
The Fashion Show was hosted by The Bedford in Balham. First built in 1931, The Bedford which underwent a multi-million pound refurbishment to create an unrivalled pub, club, restaurant, live music and entertainment venue.
