Restyle Cork

2025 marked the launch of ReStyle Cork, a sustainable fashion expo we organised that included 25 events packed into one day. The aim of the day was to showcase sustainable fashion skills, innovations, trends and traditions, teach people new skills in mending and upcycling while also spotlighting the work of local makers, designers and entrepreneurs.

The event included:

• Workshops
• Demonstrations
• Exhibits
• Clothing Market
• Swap Shop
• Repair Cafe
• Panel Discussions
• Seminars
• Future of Fashion Show

The Event was funded by Cork City Council and the Regional Waste Management Planing Offices and held in the Douglas Street Campus of the Cork ETB

ReStyle Cork had over 300 attendees, 20 instructors, 20 designers, 60 models and 13 speakers with an estimated 7,980 kg of clothing waste diverted from landfill, impact report carried out by FASH Forward.

The day was such a success that we went on to be awarded €85,000 in funding from the Irish Environmental Network to bring ReStyle Nationwide as a roadshow. So lookout for ReStyle Ireland 2026, coming to a city near you.
