SWETSHOP
SWETSHOP began as an outlook to take the stigma away from sustainable issues, making them accessible and attainable to the average Joe. By infusing music with fashion, film and art in Hyde Park Book Club's basement, the event highlights the importance of upcycling and promoting local artists in a reactive manner.
The Founder of SWETSHOP, graduated from London College of Fashion four years ago with her graduate collection heavily infused by recycling and manipulating materials which attracting the likes of Vogue Paris, Vogue.co.uk, i-D, Pigeons & Peacocks among others. She has returned to the north, and now has a passion for interiors, upcycling chairs, tables and plant pots along with bringing together and curating the artists behind SWETSHOP.
SWETSHOP is designed to mix elements of sustainability with art, music, fashion and film in an interactive space.
