The Social Outfit on King Street in Newtown is a fashion label with a purpose, providing training and employment to people from refugee and new-migrant communities. Everything is made ethically, often from fabric donated by the industry that would otherwise go to waste, so each colourful piece has a real story behind it. The shopfront doubles as a bright, welcoming boutique. Ask a staff member about the maker behind a garment, and know that your purchase directly funds the training programmes.
