Bring it Back #11 - Co-Stitching the City

The 11th edition of Bring It Back shines a light on the stories that shape us, celebrating neighborhood identities, shared narratives, and the cultural richness embedded in personal archives and DIY aesthetics. This time, we’re moving beyond fast fashion, toward self-expression rooted in heritage and community.

As part of Dutch Sustainable Fashion Week (DSFW), this special edition brings together voices from across fashion, art, and culture to explore how style can be both sustainable and deeply personal.

Stick around after the conversation for music, drinks, and a chance to connect with a community that believes style is a story worth telling.
