Fasten your style
Who needs Gucci, Versace, and toothpick-sized models? Milwaukee has a formidable fashion scene all its own, and its happening in living rooms, basements, and small workshops all over town.
One of the most exciting centers for Milwaukee’s D.I.Y. fashion movement is the Fasten Co-op Clothing Gallery. Established in 2003, Fasten has emerged from it’s humble beginnings at the Eastside Open Market, and into a storefront showcasing the works of nearly 50 local clothing designers, as well as artists, bands, and zines.
These are not beginner-level courses, and you won't be stuck making anything as mundane as a summer skirt or patchwork quilt. These classes are far more punk inspired, offering T-shirt reclamation, jean refitting, duct tape bags, and sweater dolls among other things.

Hey I just want to say thanks for all the love and support we’ve been getting from everyone. Fasten wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for that support!
