Can Fashion Be Sin? Sustainability Meets Wardrobe
On Saturday, October 10, 2026, the Lesecafé in the Erlangen Old Town Market Passage invites you to a special event experience: At Can Fashion Be Sin? clothing exchange and short films come together for an informative afternoon focused on clothing, consumption, and sustainable alternatives.
Fashion Between Water Consumption and Daily Life
How much water is involved in the production of a pair of jeans? Why do people buy numerous new clothing items every year? And under what conditions do people work in the textile industry? The short films presented shed light on ecological and social aspects of modern fashion and encourage conscious engagement with one's own consumption.
Clothing Exchange with a Sustainable Perspective
During the short films, a clothing exchange action will take place. Visitors are allowed to bring up to seven gently used clothing items and take away up to seven other pieces. This creates a lively event atmosphere where browsing, exchanging, and sustainable event planning come together.
Consciously Consuming Together
The event focuses on fast fashion, resource consumption, and working conditions, without losing sight of practical access. The format appeals to people who want to make their wardrobe more sustainable, rediscover used clothing, and learn about fair alternatives.
The afternoon is organized as a collaboration between the vhs Lesecafé and the World Shop Erlangen. Participation is free, but registration through the vhs Erlangen is recommended for better organization.
Conclusion: Experience Sustainable Impulses Live
A clothing exchange, selected short films, and discussions about the impacts of our fashion consumption make this afternoon an informative and simultaneously sociable event experience. Those wanting to use clothing longer, conserve resources, and discover new favorite pieces will find the perfect place in the Erlangen Old Town Market Passage.
