Here’s the translation from Italian to English:
“All fashion enthusiasts, as well as those passionate about sustainability and creativity—and even those who know nothing about the topic but want to dive into this world—will be fully satisfied by the end of June knowing that the first Circular Fashion Days will be held!
Where? In Turin, specifically at Green Pea, via E. Fenoglietti 20.
From Thursday, June 27 to Sunday, June 30, 2024, coinciding with Turin Fashion Week, Turin will host the first edition of the festival organized by Green Pea in collaboration with the socially driven startup Atelier Riforma, entirely dedicated to responsible and circular fashion.
It will be four days of immersion into the world of fashion, discovering what responsible consumption and circular economy mean through talks, workshops, fashion shows, swap parties, exhibitions, a market, a contest, live performances, and artistic installations.

This rich initiative was born from the collaboration between Green Pea (the first large physical space in Italy dedicated to sustainable living 360°) and Atelier Riforma (an innovative startup with a social vocation active in promoting circular fashion).
This is the first edition of what is hoped to become a long collaboration, to provide citizens with a regular event—and a physical space—to have fun while delving into such a topical issue as circularity.”
