SPARKS is an exciting arts and sustainability hub in Bristol where people can shop, recycle and explore what a greener, fairer and creative future could look like.
SFW worked with the SPARKS team to curate the project's fashion department - and we returned to host our Bristol Hub, gathering the city's sustainable fashion activators together to share their knowledge and skills.
