Green is New Black for Fashion Designers
The Stephens Fashion department is now offering fabric recycling. Bring your fabric scraps, used clothing, used home textiles, used fabric anything, and it will be taken to the recycling facility. This is an amazing opportunity to help the environment and further the life of textiles-related products. Recycle bins are located in all the fashion design classrooms and in the hallway of CWS, just outside of rooms 106 and 107.
