Calling all designers, style princesses and scissor gods! Beyond Retro has a challenge for you! With the recycling ethic we champion still being so in vogue, we are challenging you take things a step further! As you know, old clothes make great new ones! Even more so, when they are cut up with a dash of style magazine chic! Step forward, ‘Supersweet’ magazine and their awe inspiring back catalogue of pop culture pictures! We want you to cut those up and see what  clothes design wonders you can create! Sew those pages with sequins, ribbons or feathers and let your imagination run wild! The best will form a unique display at Beyond Retro’s Cheshire Street store at the end of March.

We ran a workshop in Dalston over the weekend to help get your creative juices flowing! We had fun cutting, sticking and startching our way to fashion fame, but there is still time to get involved! Head over to the Supersweet site for details: http://supersweet.org/Competitions/PROJECT-RECYCLE-FASHION/menu-id-31.html
