Rise & Resist: Book Launch and Clothes Swap with Clare Press

Vogue magazine's first ever Sustainability Editor-at-Large, Clare Press, will be the special guest at an exclusive clothes swap taking place at East Hotel, Kingston on Saturday 13 October.

Hosted by Eco Stylist, Nina Gbor, founder of Clothes Swap & Style – Canberra, the clothes swap and book launch collaboation, is an innovative event that will launch Clare’s second book, Rise & Resist: How to Change the World.

Rise & Resist takes a wild trip through the new activism sweeping the world. The political march is back in a big way, as communities rally to build movements for environmental and social justice. But today's context calls for increasingly creative strategies to make our voices heard. Crossing the globe, Clare Press meets passionate change-makers who believe in the power of the positive. From eco warriors and zero wasters to knitting nannas, introvert craftivists to intersectional feminists, they're all up for a revolution of sorts. Are you? Join Press as she tracks the formation of a new counterculture, united by a grand purpose: to rethink how we live today to build a more sustainable tomorrow.

For anyone who considers themselves an activist – this event is for you. Clare is looking forward to meeting Canberra’s fashion community, waste warriors and champions of change!
