About the event

Wasteworlds
The year is 2125. Clothing waste has taken over the world. There’s nothing left to do but cut, rip, pin, stitch, and strut our way out of it. We need YOU to save the planet—one catwalk at a time.

Welcome to Wasteworlds—a large-scale interactive installation built by Fast Fashun artists in collaboration with local legends Snuff Puppets.

Throughout the week, join us for kids’ workshops where little designers and their grown-ups can explore the Wasteworlds sculpture, transform textile trash into fabulous outfits, and hit the runway in style. Expect chaos, creativity, and a whole lot of fun.

Then, on Saturday, we attempt the impossible: a non-stop runway show. For six hours straight, the catwalk is open to anyone and everyone. No sewing skills required—if you can use a safety pin, you’re halfway there. Make a look, take a turn on the runway, or simply come to watch the world transform, one outfit at a time.

Kids workshops:
Wed 1 Oct 10am & 12.30pm
Thurs 2 Oct 10am & 12.30pm
Fri 3 Oct 10am & 12.30pm

Non-stop runway show:
Sat 4 Oct: 12pm, 2pm & 4pm

Tickets will be available through the Melbourne Fringe website.
