Join LOCAL Artists, Schools, and Makers in exploring the nexus of science, style, sustainability, self-expression and community while expressing their “Eco-style.”
During this one-day event, attendees will enjoy a walk through our woods, taking in a live fashion show along the trail. The garments, created by local schools, community organizations, and local artists/designers, all express an anti-fast fashion attitude by using upcycled, repurposed and natural materials.
Join us on Sunday, April 27 at BEEC, 12-2 PM
This event is FREE and open to all!
No reservations or tickets required – come anytime, but be sure to be on the trail by 1:30p at the latest to make sure you get to see the whole show!
For those with mobility challenges who can’t walk the trail, we will have a special show at 2:15 in our courtyard that is accessible.
We’re partnering with Jay Calderin, founder of Boston Fashion Week
Jay is a Latinx educator at the School of Fashion Design Boston, MA College of Art and The Museum of Fine Arts Boston. His own fashion design has graced the pages of Elle, Vogue, and The NYT Sunday Styles section.
Jay has been working with BEEC as the lead consult on the Forest of Fashion project, coaching participants towards executing their vision – from concept to finished garment – via a series of Zoom meetings through the 24-25 school year leading up to the event. We are no longer accepting submissions, and are looking forward to seeing what everyone has created!
