It’s back, and it’s bigger, bolder, and more inspiring than ever.
The Wastebusters Refashion Show returns on Thursday 19 March 2026, bringing the community together for a night celebrating creativity, craft, and the clothes we love.
Expect slow fashion in action, with a runway of thoughtfully designed pieces made from repurposed and sustainably sourced materials. Featuring work from established sustainable designers from across the country and passionate hobbyist makers, this is a show that proves great clothing starts with care, intention, and imagination.
Refashion is about falling in love with our clothes again. Pieces with stories. Outfits you want to wear on repeat. Style that feels good and does good.
Our much-loved moodboards return, showcasing head-to-toe looks styled entirely from secondhand finds from Wasties.
In the lobby, explore the Wastebusters Pop-Up Shop, packed with beautiful pre-loved pieces to shop on the night.
If you love great style, care about sustainable fashion, and want a feel-good night out with friends, Refashion is for you!
Early bird tickets are $20 until March 1st, and Student tickets are $15. Every Refashion show so far has sold out, so don’t leave it too late.
Doors open 6pm, curtains drawn 6.30pm.
Come celebrate the power of slow fashion, the magic of personal style, and a community that knows great clothes when it sees them.
