Activists from Extinction Rebellion took to the streets of Lincoln with a free pop-up clothing stall to combat the impact of fast fashion, decorating used clothes in an act of ‘craftivism’.
Fast fashion brands such as Primark and Pretty Little Thing have recently faced criticism for the treatment of their manufacturing staff due to low priced items and mind-boggling sales.
Rebels from XR set up at Lincoln Cornhill Quarter on Saturday to offer a pop-up stall giving away customised clothing and gifts for free.
