What I plan to do at RWM this year is have a catwalk show highlighting the creative reuse or recycling of textiles.

    Hi Gary,

    my name is Helen and I have just created an upcycled fashion label called "ENNINI" for RSPCA Llys Nini charity shops using "rag" fabrics! We are based in South Wales, making us truly unique within Wales.

    I am basically enquiring about the catwalk you are hoping to organise and how I can find out more info about taking part.

    Many thanks in advance

    Helen
