CONGREGATION X FASHION REVOLUTION T-Shirts have been made collaboratively and anonymously during last Fashion Revolution week in London.

Fashion Open Studio invited its audience and Congregation Design team to meet around a workshop of Fashion Consequences. Everybody joining the workshop rolled a dice to select which stage of the garment they will work on : front, back, sleeve... Participants carried on their task until the dice rolled again.

The result is a limited edition of three playful and bold T-Shirts. Each garment is up-cycled using t-shirts from charity shops that are deemed to be unfit for sale and cast to the charity shop rag bags.

Profit on CONGREGATION X FASHION REVOLUTION T-Shirt will be given to Princess Alice Hospice and Fashion Revolution Organisation.
