MONTAGE sponsors sustainable fashion show and clothing swap

Members of TCD's student organization MONTAGE have installed an exhibition of Sustainable Fashion in the Rotunda Gallery at Nebraska Union and have organized a clothing "swap" that will take place at the Union on Thursday, April 2. MONTAGE members collected 'gently used' clothing from campus contributors on March 25 & 26, and next week contributors and others will be able to exchange the tickets they received for their items for 'new to them' clothing, thus helping to reduce the load on landfills and participate in a 'low-impact' economic strategy.
