First-year Fashion Communication students at Liverpool John Moores University (LJMU) have embarked on an exciting collaboration with the sustainable brand BEPO (Be Positive Tailored) to create a distinctive and eco-friendly Eurovision-themed collection for John Lewis at Liverpool ONE.
The collection, crafted from donated flags and banners from last year’s Eurovision event, features a range of unisex backpacks and clothing items. Once destined for disposal, these materials have been ingeniously repurposed into fashionable, functional, and environmentally conscious pieces.
In addition to designing and creating the clothing items, the students at LJMU have taken a holistic approach by developing a comprehensive sustainable fashion marketing campaign to accompany the collection. This campaign includes engaging content for TikTok and promotional videos designed to captivate and educate the audience on the importance of sustainable fashion.
