How exciting and intimidating..Im about to share an experience, that I hope will make a difference..to the way we chose to buy and make clothes.
Im a fashion designer altho find it very difficult to describe myself as such, having spent a good part of my professional life, being unable to embrace the title without also having the urge to apologise for it.
I spent a large part of my childhood obsessively stitching my dolls into ill fitting bits of fabric and then myself into equally momentful creations, usually minutes before leaving the house for a night out (if it lasted the night I was lucky). ..How could something so fun and expressive carry such a heavy burden of accountability years on.. in 1980 something.. I watched a documentary on global warming which had the power to catapult me forever into a conflict with my passion .
mmm note: do not want this in anyway to sound like an evangelical epiphany? even tho perhaps it was..?
anyway szz, the point is here, not to provide a daily dose of colourful me! but to try to follow thru a process from field to end of life that can fully deserve the title of ecological fashion .
Thats my goal and I will leave it at that for now, while I go away and find something constructive and inspiring to add, with lots of pictures..
