Retro Runway

Retro Runway 

Retro Runway was a student-led organization focused on promoting ethical and sustainable fashion. Retro Runway was started by Sara Low and Gale Gamboa, two undergraduate students interested in taking action against fast fashion through intersectional environmentalism. 

Retro Runway's Projects

Retro Runway's Sustainable Fashion

Retro Runway's inaugural event was a sold-out sustainable fashion hosted in the basement of Peter Clark Hall in the University Centre. This fashion show, which took place in early March of 2020, had over 300 attendees and had over 70 volunteers participate in putting it together. The fashion show showcased local designers, makers, and organizations and even featured a dance routine performance. 

Circl Magazine
 

In the winter semester, Retro Runway released their digital magazine titled Circl, which analyzes ethics and sustainability in the fashion industry. This magazine features fashion-focused opinion editorials, articles, and spotlights on local designers in the Guelph community. It was written, designed, and compiled entirely by a team of University of Guelph students.
