FFF#5

A Fair Fashion Fest full of firsts. From 22-24 April, you could find Ghent's sustainable fashion festival at De Centrale and the Industriemuseum. Despite the aftermath of the corona pandemic, there was a nice turnout at this multi-day event.

The first scoop last weekend was Dobet Gnahoré, an Ivorian singer, who came to perform at De Centrale as the kick-off of the Fair Fashion Fest.

But this year's festival was also in two venues and on two days for the first time. Connected by Kongostraat, you found the Industrial Museum on one side and De Centrale on the other. At De Centrale, you found catwalks, exhibitions, workshops, a big fair fashion market, challenges, the coffee cart from Komaf Koffie and a cart from Let's Save Food and fair fashion talks. Five minutes' walk away, at the Industrial Museum, you also found exhibitions, small talks, workshops, the clothing swap and at Bar Baudelo you could find fair trade specials.
