Green & Gorgeous @ 313
In celebration of Earth Hour on 23 March 2013, 313@somerset (313) will be organising a slew of fun-filled activities to educate the shoppers on sustainability and to encourage them to join 313 on the sustainability journey.
313’s Green & Gorgeous Fashion Swap, which was a huge success for past years, is back again this year. Over 1,000 items have been exchanged in the past two 313’s Green & Gorgeous Fashion Swap, an initiative pioneered by the mall which has since become a signature event. All un-swapped items will be will be donated to ASPN, the Association for Persons with Special Needs.
313’s Green & Gorgeous Fashion Swap will be held on March 23 from 4-8pm. It will be located at the L1 Discovery Walk, beside Charlie Brown Café. During this event, shoppers can swap their used clothes and accessories and will be entertained by Supernova, winner of the Eco Music Challenge 2012 as they will perform every 30 minutes throughout the Green & Gorgeous Fashion Swap.
Winner of Miss Earth Singapore 2012, Ms Phoebe Tan, will be showing her support by generously donating some of her clothing to the Fashion Swap and share some of her favourite recycling tips at 5pm and participate in the 'Green your Accessories’ Workshop. This four-hour long (4-8pm) workshop aims to give shoppers a taste of using recycled materials to create beautiful accessories and being environmentally responsible in a fashion forward way. Shoppers can enjoy all workshops for free and registration will be on a first-come-first-serve basis.
