New This Week: Hey Bubble & Squeak

Bubble & Squeak is a very exciting event that is coming to Dogma (Nottingham) on Wednesday 9^th May, courtesy of NTU’s very own Fashion Marketing & Branding kids, in association with TRAID (I love them already) and American Apparel. 

The aim of the game is showcase the abundance of creative talent that we have here in Notts, whilst raising money for the great guys at TRAID – a charity whose 3 main objectives are:

1. To protect the environment by diverting clothes and shoes from landfill;
2. To reduce world poverty by raising funds for overseas development projects; and
3. To educate the UK public on environmental and world poverty issues.

I blogged about TRAID last month after finding out that we are getting clothing banks from them on our very own NTU campus, so no more emptying your wardrobes into unfriendly black bins at the end of the year freshers! I am keen to be a GREEN bean.

So back to Bubble & Squeak. Here a little of what’s on offer on the night:

• Exciting fashion stalls hosted by Mimm, NTU Fashion kids, TRAID, American Apparel, Top Tier Cakes, Girl With the White Balloon (can I get a woot WOOT!) and more TBA

• Live Fashion Fix: fashion show throughout the night wearing the best of our local designers + TRAID Remade pieces

•  American Apparel who will be providing 200 goodie bags on the night for guests.

• Music from Tunnels (Lost Boyz), Rykuvan, Stefan Malinaro

That’s right, you heard it here first guys & dolls: The Girl With The White Balloon will be showcasing (for the first time ever!) at this tip top event! Special limited-edish screen printed canvas bags will be on sale (all profits going to our 3 RAG charities of course) along with a few more surprises...
