Feedbacks¶
'At first, I apprehended the event out of pure curiosity, in order to learn more about what circular fashion is, I must admit that I also took great pleasure in lending myself to the game of re- pimp my old denim jacket and then, following the workshop organized where we were able to receive more information, it raised my awareness and I became aware that small everyday gestures were not so restrictive, Lydia'
