Rethink the Runway Weekly Recap 05.26.2025
From Gratitude to Glamour: A Week of Celebration, Style & Sustainable Vision
Hi friends 💛 Last week, we continued our strings of gratitude to those who made Threads of Change Reception a reality. We understand that it takes a village (or more!) to craft an event with intentions, so we are taking the time to highlight the magic makers, runway moments, and our next event announcement! Enjoy your RTR weekly rewind 💫
A Thank You From the Heart
Rethink the Runway’s Threads of Change Exhibition and Reception during SF Climate Week 2025 would’ve never happened without the community behind it. We gave a big, grateful shoutout to the amazing vendors, creatives, and sponsors who made Threads of Change feel like a dream.
From Pinterest’s generous support to the delicious food, perfectly poured cocktails, dreamy florals, and every single detail that went off without a hitch, we’re still in awe. You didn’t just support an event - you showed what collaboration looks like when it’s rooted in purpose.

Style with a Story (Part 2)
Our Reception night wasn’t just about looking great - it was about showing up as your full self. We shared more looks from our guests, each outfit a reflection of individuality, values, and joyful creativity. Think vintage treasures, bold tailoring, indie designers, and statement accessories that sparked conversations. You all came dressed to express, and it made the night feel electric.
Here are some of our favorites from last week’s batch:

Let’s Design the Future Together
Big news! We’re teaming up with Flair for an AI Fashion Design Workshop at SF Design Week (June 4). This hands-on, human-centered event is for creatives who care about the planet and great design. We’ll explore how AI and sustainability can play nice, and one lucky participant’s design will be manufactured IRL 👀
This event is SOLD OUT, however please add your name in the wait list if you’d like to be notified when a spot is open.
