Over the weekend, a shed draped in 250 kilograms of clothing waste was constructed in Sydney’s Tumbalong Park, in the busy tourist precinct of Darling Harbour. Its walls were covered in T-shirts and singlets. Underwear and bras hung from the roof. Four pairs of jeans dangled in the doorway.
The House of Fast Fashun [sic], created by a Melbourne-based art collective of the same name, was the backdrop for a two-day series of workshops and runway shows, held as part of Sydney festival. Another 750kg of used, damaged clothes was scattered in large piles on the lawn surrounding the house.
