NewCo Toronto 2018

Wearing Your Heart On Your Sleeve: The Stories Behind the Clothes 

The allure of fast fashion is hard to resist - it gives us the of-the-moment pieces we crave quickly and cheaply. But have you ever thought about the people behind those clothes? Redwood Classics Apparel thinks about them all of the time and, in fact, has built their business around those talented craftspeople. Join one of Canada's leading apparel manufacturers for an interactive, behind-the-seams tour of its production floor where you'll participate in a "customization" exercise featuring the industry's hottest trend. As this session will kick off the festival, you'll have the chance to head back to Toronto's downtown core to catch NewCo's range of exciting workshops.

***Please note that this session is not in the downtown area, so please be sure plan for adequate transportation time.
