Connector guest post by Laura Dunne –

Re-Dress is “a not for profit organisation set up to move Irish consumers and industry towards more sustainable practices”

Based in Pembroke Road in Dublin, Re-Dress provides information on sustainable practices in the clothing industry for both consumers and those in the industry. As part of their work, they have developed their own social network on Ning where members are free to meet those of similar mindsets and network with fellow professionals to develop new projects and realtionships. More recently, Re-Dress have begun to host events to spread the word that sustainable fashion is the way forward. Ranging from industry networking events such as Re-Connect Live! which took place last week in the Stags Head to the ever popular Crafternoon Tea (with multiple dates in both November and December), Re-Dress is proof of the power of maintaining an active presence online.

If you are interested in taking part in the Re-Dress movement, spread the word to friends and colleagues! Join up on the re-connect network and get invovled.

For those who want to meet the (lovely) people behind Re-Dress, the “French Knickers and Cocktails” night on November 24th promises to be both informative and, more importantly, great fun so pop along!
