A La Mode brings sustainable fashion to Chatham’s Shadyside campus

Kyle Ferreira and Marley McFarland
February 20, 2025

Chatham’s fashion club A La Mode brought back its sustainable fashion fair for students on Feb. 7 after two years on hiatus. Students were able to find clothes free of charge in Mellon Board Room. The club had collected donations throughout the month of January and even during the event to be able to create a thrifting experience by Chatham students and for Chatham students.
