Community Recognition: Fashion Revolution Week

Congratulations to the local women, creators, makers, designers and retailers from the electorate of Newtown who participated in Fashion Revolution Week. 

Ms JENNY LEONG ( Newtown ) ( 16:18 :08 ): On Friday 27 April, as part of Fashion Revolution Week, I participated in an inspiring event at The Sheds hosted by Tommie Magazine and moderated and hosted by Tommie Magazine founder Natalie Shehata. Other panellists included local women, creators, makers, designers and retailers from the electorate of Newtown, including Jackie Ruddock from The Social Outfit, Christina Kelly from Made 590, Danielle Atkinson from Milk and Thistle, and Luisa Franco from Madge Goods. I express thanks to all those who volunteered to make this event happen, including Laura Mari and Elizabeth Kruchkoff. I give a shoutout to the team at Fashion Revolution Australia—Melinda, Olivia, Kendall, Elyse, Laura, Kelli, Clara, Clare, Jane, Liane, Amanda and Kirsten. People should always be sure to ask: Who made my clothes?
