Fairfield Digital Print Project

The Social Outfit's Digital Print Project is an annual program designed to engage young people from refugee and new migrant communities throughout Western Sydney. In 2019, we returned to the Fairfield High School Intensive English Centre (home to our very first Digital Print Project) to work with a new group of twelve young people: Aakad, Afshan, Aoreana, Anibal, Anna, Christian, Katrina, Laver, Maryam, Rahaf, Sam and Valentina.

Students worked on their artworks over six weeks, creating people, animals, and the creative worlds in which they live. Each student got to practice familiar skills and try news ones too, across painting, drawing, weaving and collaging. Now, the Fairfield print brings together artwork from all twelve participating students, featuring tiny fish, jellyfish, squid, blossoms, trees, foliage, ladybugs, and sunsets!

The Digital Print Project included an excursion to Newtown (a new area for most project participants). The students met The Social Outfit's staff and spent some time in the workroom, learning about what happens in a social enterprise which manufactures fashion on site. We also visited Carriageworks to see contemporary Australian art exhibited as part of The National 2019.

How much is shipping?

We're all about slow fashion production at The Social Outfit. In order to prevent excess stock at the end of the season, we produce small size runs which often means that your order enters production once purchased.

If your product is in stock, we aim to ship it in 2-4 business days. New production on products takes up to 14 business days from order to dispatch, but we'll let you know via email as soon as your order is ready and making it's way to you!

If you'd like to check whether the style you're purchasing is in stock, feel free to send us an email or give us a call.

All sale items purchased are final sale - no refunds or exchanges unless the item is deemed faulty.

As a small charitable organisation that often makes to order, we ask that you please be mindful when purchasing our products.

I'm not sure which size to order.

We totally get it - shopping online can be super tricky! That's why we've put together a couple of resources to help make your shopping experience just that much easier.

You can check out our Sizing page for our general sizing information as well as our Model Size Guide that'll hopefully give you a reference point.

We also provide garment measurements for each product on its product listing page - we recommend going old school, grabbing a tape measure and comparing a similar garment you have at home to the one you're planning to purchase!
