Bags-for-Life Dress at Edinburgh Climate Festival
Edinburgh couture designer Alison Harm created a dress made from about 25 recycled ‘bags-for-life’ to feature in a circular-economy fashion show at the Edinburgh Climate Festival, using an eye-catching garment to highlight plastic pollution and promote sustainable fashion.
Why it worked: It turned a mundane, guilty object—bags-for-life—into a couture spectacle tied to a fixed event date, giving editors a visual, timely hook.
The lesson: Consider transforming a common hypocrisy into a striking, photogenic artifact unveiled at a scheduled public moment reporters are already covering.
