Fashion Fashion  is a campus-wide clothing drive culminating in a 2-day “open closet” event where students, faculty, and staff can shop secondhand clothing for free. The goal is twofold: redistribute clothing to those who need it that would have otherwise been landfilled, and to educate the ASU community about the environmental impacts of the fashion industry. The Fashion Forward initiative is organized and hosted by the Sustainability Staff Council Program and the International Students and Scholars Center. Find out more about the event, and how to get involved here.
