Designer and researcher at the Fashion Design Methodology School of Textiles in Sweden, Maja Gunn, offers a two-week recycling fashion design course starting 4 November.

It is all about how to create fashion utilizing garments that one already has or second hand clothing and accessories, shoes, bags belts, etc." according to the online course description.
Each participant will create a personal collection to present at a fashion show slated for December 2012 at Darb 1718 in cooperation with the Embassy of Sweden.
Karina Shalaby from En Vogue Modeling & Finishing Institute will offer a catwalk training for the models who wear the garments.
