Could ‘trash fashion’ save this Nairobi neighbourhood from drowning in discarded western clothes?

A recent runway show in Gikomba, East Africa's largest secondhand clothing market, has brought attention to the challenges posed by mass clothing imports while showcasing innovative solutions through 'trash fashion.' Filmmaker Antony Njoroge and co-producer Sally Ngoiri are at the forefront of this initiative, engaging the community in discussions about sustainable practices. This event not only highlights the environmental impact of discarded clothing but also empowers local creatives to transform waste into fashion, potentially revitalizing the neighborhood and inspiring similar movements elsewhere.
