Information - Passion for Fashion: An Upcycled Fashion Show with Ketchup Clothes

Fashion doesn’t have to come at the planet’s expense.

Join us at MOTE for Passion for Fashion, an inspiring evening celebrating creativity, sustainability and the incredible potential of clothing that already exists. Led by Dr Karen Dennis of Ketchup Clothes, this event will challenge the way we think about fashion, waste and the value of the garments we wear.

For over 30 years, Karen has been transforming discarded clothing into striking, one-of-a-kind designs, proving that yesterday’s unwanted textiles can become tomorrow’s statement pieces. Through her work, she encourages us to rethink fast fashion and see clothing not as something disposable, but as a resource full of possibility.

The evening will feature a live runway show showcasing Karen’s unique upcycled designs, demonstrating how creativity can breathe new life into materials that might otherwise end up in landfill. Alongside the catwalk, Karen will share the stories behind her work, offering insight into the environmental impact of the fashion industry and how each of us can make more sustainable choices.

Whether you’re passionate about fashion, interested in sustainability, or simply curious to see what can be created from reclaimed materials, this promises to be an inspiring evening that celebrates innovation, craftsmanship and positive environmental change.

Come and discover how fashion can become part of the solution.

Event Highlights

 

  • A live upcycled fashion show by Ketchup Clothes.
  • Meet designer Dr Karen Dennis.
  • Learn about the environmental impact of the fashion industry.
  • Discover how creativity, repair and reuse can transform discarded clothing.
  • Be inspired to rethink the way you buy, wear and value your clothes.

 

More Than a Fashion Show

The evening won’t just feature the runway.

Throughout the event, you’ll also be able to enjoy live performances from talented local musicians, creating an atmosphere that celebrates creativity in all its forms. We’re currently finalising our line-up, with performers to be announced closer to the event.

It’s all part of MOTE’s mission to support local creatives and bring together fashion, music, art and environmental conversations under one roof. Expect an evening filled with inspiring design, incredible performances and the chance to meet like-minded people who are passionate about creativity and positive change.

Whether you come for the fashion, the music or simply to experience something a little different, we can’t wait to welcome you.
