Celebrate International Youth Day in Style at Azure Beach Public Library!

Clare Press will give a short talk about her latest book 'WEAR NEXT, Fashioning the Future', followed by a discussion where the group will talk about all the things they love about fashion and come up with different ways to change the current wasteful and exploitative industry, from making your own clothes to thrift and second hand shopping.
