To RSVP, e-mail rsvp@fashionfightspoverty.org. For entry into the event, all guests must bring an item (clothing, accessories, shoes).
How it will work
Attendees will leave their unwanted articles of clothing, shoes, and accessories on tables based on clothing size range or accessory type. The swap begins with a collective pile on the table. At a determined time after the event begins, attendees dive in and find their next "new to them" item(s) from the pile.More on clothing swapsSwapping is the New ShoppingFashion Swapping Spikes As Clothing Sales Drop - Two Ways to StartHow to Start Swishing: Get Fabulous Free Clothes"Swopping" is Swedish for Clothes SwapSwishing and Swapping Your Way to a Designer WardrobeGuests can interact and make trades with other guests.
