aimed at making more effective use of resources by providing a platform for people to exchange free of charge those fashion items in their closets that they don t use anymore In London fashion swap events sponsored by the credit card company VISA focus on the swapping of specific brands Japan s first major fashion swap event xChange was held in September 2007 in Tokyo The xChange event is designed to exchange not only fishing items but also information and feelings from the owners of the clothes using what is called an episode tag Participants put tags on each of the items they bring and write their name and a bride episode about the items For example a tag of a white jacket read This is a gift from a friend but it s just not my style On a tag attached to a pair of red shoes a person wrote These don t fit me anymore I hope someone who loves red can use them Just as shoppers check price tags some people check the episode tags before making a selection imagining who used to wear the item The episode tags make people aware of the human connection by exchanging goods Many participants say things like I m very lucky to get such lovely clothes for free and I was happy to see someone try on and choose what I brought here Unwanted clothes for one person can be new and exciting for someone else Besides xChange achieves close to a 100 percent reuse rate by donating leftover clothes to companies that reuse or recycle secondhand clothing Anything they cannot use they then donate to developing countries or reuse them as rags Since 2007 the xChange event has been held every two or three months in a different region of Japan always attracting many participants This success is probably because it is an active event that gives participants opportunities to enjoy fashion
