Fashion designer Claudia Franco-Slater is the featured guest at this special edition of Repair Café. As the owner of Franco Alterations and Fashion Revolution YYC team member, Franco-Slater is experienced and the ideal person to share knowledge and help with repairs. Bring in your items in need of attention and get tips on how to make a fix instead of having to replace it. 

" I grew up surrounded by fabrics, clothing, sewing trims, sewing classes in a fabric store- owned by my family in Colombia. In 2018 is when I discovered all the negative impact “Fast Fashion” is having on people's health, the planet and the waste we are producing I then decided to learn more about it, to be a conscious consumer and to share my knowledge." -Claudia Franco-Slater
