ECO Style ECO Style Student Association What is ECO-Style? Other words for ECO-Style:
Refashion, trashion, eco-fashion, sustainable style, upcycling, green fashion.

We are a student group at the University of Alberta that promotes and encourage students on campus to engage in sustainability through different areas in fashion. Environmentally friendly fibres, re-use of old clothing and accessories, manipulating old fabrics and garments into new creations, donating unwanted clothing to thrift stores and charities, & purchasing vintage clothing. ESSA is constructed by students from the Human Ecology program (majoring in textiles and clothing) that specifically focuses on reusing and upcycling fashion. ESSA works passionately with different partnerships around Edmonton that help share our vision.

Come to the University of Alberta SAW Clothing Swap this Wednesday the 22nd from 10am-4pm in the Students Union Build (SUB) lower level 0-41 to swap for some pre-loved clothing and call it your own! We will have a drop off zone to bring your clothing in advance during the sustainability fair on Tuesday the 21st in SUB from 10am-3pm.

Don't have anything to swap? No problem! Come down with your friends to take a picture in our thrifster photo booth or/and enter a chance to win an outfit from our exhibition - props and exhibited clothing provided by Decadence thrift & vintage boutique.

All excess clothing will be donated to the Millbourne Community Life Centre (MCLC), which works in one of the lowest income neighborhoods within the city.
