Slow Fashion Slow Roll is an official Detroit Month of Design event organized and supported by Slow Stitch Detroit, Slow Roll Detroit Thursday Nights, 𝕮𝖑𝖔𝖙𝖍𝖎𝖓𝖌 𝕾𝖜𝖆𝖕 𝕱𝖊𝖘𝖙𝖎𝖛𝖆𝖑, and Back Alley Bikes.

A fashion show on wheels—this event highlights the needs and creativity Detroiters have around accessible clothing, art, and transportation. Meet the designers, artists, and enthusiasts that keep Detroit alive and thriving!

You’ve heard of “fast fashion” but what is “slow fashion”? How can we learn skills like clothing and bike repair to improve our quality of life and access to basic needs in a world that challenges those needs often.

🚨Want to know more about these orgs or SFSR? Meet all the folks responsible for putting this event together on Saturday, August 15th at Tenacity Craft at 7pm for our SFSR Mixer!🚨

🗓️ August 15th
🕚 7PM
📍Tenacity Craft - 8517 2nd Ave, Detroit
