Students Address Fast Fashion
Hockaday’s Upper School held a Dress Swap last week in preparation for upcoming dances and mixers! Around 90 dresses were donated by students, and their peers could come and “shop” for a free new dress.
Kashmira K. (Class of 2027), who organized the effort, said “The Dress Swap was an opportunity for students to have an engaging way to solve multiple issues: protecting the environment through reusing dresses, improving equity through benefiting students who might find the cost of a dress prohibitive to attending Homecoming, helping charity as unclaimed dresses are donated, and fostering empathy among students as they experience the benefits firsthand.”
