“When you wear The Social Outfit, you wear clothes that tell positive stories. You’re taking a stand against fast fashion’s forced labour and slavery while taking a stand for refugee women’s rights, and fair and dignified employment.”

- 'The Social Outfit is fostering fashion from Sydney’s refugee communities', Fashion Journal
