From Waste to Werk: Fast Fashun’s Met(ric Tonne) Gala

What do you get when you mix a literal tonne of textile waste, a sewing machine, and a room full of creative queers?



The Met(ric Tonne of Waste) Gala — part of Melbourne Design Week 2025.

Artist and producer Teneille Clerke from local queer art collective Fast Fashun joins us to chat about their wild, sustainable runway event that turns landfill into lewks.



We talk trash fashion, the importance of creative chaos, and how events like this are challenging the fast fashion cycle while building a joyful community of makers.
