The Claire Closet has been celebrating young women through Eco Fashion, Art, and Youth Entrepreneurship while tackling social issues in Kingston for a few years now – providing workshops, mentorship, summer camps and community events for girls ages 10 – 25. Founded by the immensely talented (and one of the nicest people you could ever meet) Claire Bouvier, The Claire Closet‘s mission of “spreading the awesome” has gradually gained momentum across Kingston and has evolved into a refreshing series of workshops designed to ultimately teach teenage girls to be creative and eco-friendly with their personal styles, while developing their skills and passions.
