FARA charity shops and London College of Fashion (LCF) hosted the return of their highly anticipated collaboration, FARAxLCF, for a third year with two events held in February.

‘Denim ReFramed’ challenges LCF design students to transform discarded denim and unsellable artwork into one-of-a-kind garments – giving them creative freedom to remake, reuse, and reframe donated materials while celebrating sustainability, creativity, and the transformative power of fashion.

Charity Retail Association Communications Assistant, Hannah Weet attended the 13 February event at FARA’s Islington store. Check out the reel on Instagram.
