The Fashion Factory is based in Kensal Rise, NW London and is the creation of Amanda Riley who worked internationally as a fashion designer for nearly 20 years and has also taught at The London College of Fashion. Amanda's response to the damaging effects that mass-produced 'fast fashion' causes to the enviroment was to start teaching 11-14 year olds how to make new, high fashion pieces from old, whilst learning new skills and having fun. The kids are working on collections for their 'Recycle Revive Fashion Show'. All pieces are made from second-hand clothing which the kids get creative with and they will model their own outfits, it's all looking amazing. The show is to be held in the local art house cinema and profits from ticket sales will go to support a community in South Africa via the Sustainability Institute. The show is to be held on Saturday July 3rd at 2pm & 3.15pm. E mail Amanda for details: amanda@fashionfactory.org.uk..
