What Goes Around

As you know, everything eventually comes back into fashion. Even the most hideous of trends. And there's obviously only one solution: never, ever throw anything away.

'Amen to that', I say, then looking at what's actually in the back of my closet. There's the suit that's too big to wear, but seemed so irresistible at 80% off; a technicolor Mexican poncho; a shiny nylon shell suit. Unless ill-fitting and plain wrong becomes fashionable, I'll thankfully never wear this stuff again.

But whilst I might be up trend's creek without a fashion paddle, the ladies of this city now have a place to swap their unwearables (and other items they've fallen out of love with). At the new monthly Fashion Exchange, you can bring your Crocs, for example (unless you purposely use them as birth control), and swap them for somebody else's Moon Boots, say.

Sounds fabulous. Either that or you'll end up bringing home somebody else's bad taste. And they at least had the good sense to get rid of it.

The Fashion Exchange - 20-22h Wednesday Nov 26
@ Be&Artist, Diagonal 337, Eixample Dreta
EUR 10 with a drink, RSVP
