Drawing inspiration from Scandinavian cities, Peter Verblač placed clothes stands on a number of streets in Celje with a sign saying ‘From the wardrobe to the street’, inviting people to bring clothes they no longer needed and to take what they wanted. This public exchange meant that people could get hold of suitable clothes even if they couldn’t buy them; anyone concerned about the environmental issues involved with new clothing could exchange their old clothes; and anyone who simply wanted a new item of clothing could come along and pick something up. The video shows how the street exchange initiative came about and how it was received by the people of Celje.
