InTown: @ Shanzai mash-up

Shanzai mash-up: a workshop night by Trash & Treasures and Waag Society (hosted in Fablab Amsterdam). Since we were not able to go and participate ourselves, we asked our intern Hannah to check out the Shanzai mash up and to take loads of pics. It turned out to be a DIY-night extraordinaire... transform any old piece of rubbish and turn it into your personal treasure. Besides customizing clothing, you could also follow a workshop on how to remix and remake tableware, furniture and blankets. There were skilled craftsmen for practical help and mental support and music and drinks to keep the inspiration coming. Hannah had a great night, below a concise visual report. 
We love to customize and to help others discovering the possibilities of mixing and matching with a pair of scissors and some thread, but due to illness and tight schedules, we could not make it this time. Hopefully we can be there for the next issue!

FashionWeek: Rockin' the Modefabriek

Yeeehaaa! This must have been the most crazy pop-up Jutka & Riska so far. BUSY BUSY BUSY, fashion people everywhere all hungry for goodies that they can actually take home themselves instead of ordering stuff for their stores 6 months-1 year in advance. What a great vibe. Nevertheless we turned a little sad when we said goodbye to some of our personal favorites. Lucky enough the new owners were kind and willing to let us take one farewell photo (see below). We are pretty sure the girls will take excellent care of the coat/jacket, one thing is for sure: they look super cute in them!

Now time for a bath... revitalize our poor legs, because tomorrow we have another great day ahead of us. Feel free to stop by at our mini-store at Trash & Treasures in the Industry hall @ Modefabriek trade fair Rai Amsterdam. Hope to see you there!
