Humber College students landed some gently used clothing they can wear to work or job interviews and countless garments were saved from ending up at the landfill thanks to the 2022 Eco Closet event. The event, which took place on November 22nd at North Campus, was organized and run by Fashion Arts and Business students.
Around 1,000 students came out to the event that offered up work clothes and professional attire at discounted prices. Those looking for a blazer would have paid just $12 while most items were priced between $5 and $10.
“We really wanted to give Humber students an opportunity to find work clothes at reasonable prices,” said Yasmin Gomes, a second-year Fashion Arts and Business student who served as project manager for the event.
