Fashion Revolution Week 2025: SUSTENTARE

For the third consecutive year, the Fashion Department of UDIT, University of Design, Innovation and Technology, joins Fashion Revolution Week (FWR), the annual campaign that brings together the world's largest fashion activism movement. This participation is organised around Sustentare, an initiative that seeks to disseminate and implement the culture of sustainable values.

Sustentare, which in this edition had the collaboration of WoolDreamers and revolved around wool and the search for new destinations and possibilities for this material, took place on Tuesday 22nd and Wednesday 23rd April at the UDIT Design and Creative Industries Campus.

As part of the programme, a series of collaborative looms were created using surplus materials provided by WoolDreamers; in addition, an interesting workshop was also held, given by Paula Rodríguez, creator of the bookmarking and drawing workshop project cuarto2a, in which attendees were able to learn how to make paper from wool.
