“AN UPCYCLED FASHION SHOW”
WITH ARTIST ZELİHA SUNAL

At the REWA Anatolia Fair, immediately following the opening on the first day, the “One Step Upcycling Opening Fashion Show” provided colorful moments for participants and visitors. The show, featuring designs by musician and designer Sunal, created using paper, metal, plastic, and textile waste, offered a feast of sustainable fashion to attendees. This highlighted the significant carbon dioxide and greenhouse gas emissions caused by the overproduction driven by the growing desire for fashion and consumption, particularly in the context of the recent surge in fast fashion and excessive consumption.
