キャメロン・ラッセルさんのインスタグラム写真 - (キャメロン・ラッセルInstagram)「Too often when we talk about “fashion” and “sustainability” in the same sentence we’re criticizing the enormous negative impact the industry has when it comes to sustaining people and planet. You’ve probably heard some of the stats: 3/5s of all clothes end up in a landfill or incinerator within a year of being produced (mckinsey); fashion is the 2nd biggest water polluter after agriculture globally (journal of natural science 2012); fashion accounts for 8% of all global emissions, placing it right after transportation (quantis). What can get lost in this conversation is that there are also many aspects of fashion and people working in fashion who are practicing sustainability right now. ▶️That’s why stories like this one for @Telegraph are so important! Instead of talking about sustainable fashion as a far off future, as something we desire or aspire to, we can celebrate and lean into the sustainable fashion that exists today. ▶️This top is from artist @cynthiaalbertoweaver of @weavinghand. Her work embodies so many aspects of fashion sustainability we need to give our attention to - community, culture, and skills building, clothing whose message is that we are valuable rather than we need to consume to be valuable. “Cynthia honors the artisanal process of weaving while using unconventional materials to create expressions of form, structure, and function, often addressing themes such as femininity, age, and beauty as it relates to our culture today. Inspired by her studio practice and teaching, Cynthia continuously explores diverse relationships between weaving, healing, inclusive art, craft, and sustainability. In 2014 at Weaving Hand, Cynthia developed "Weaving Together": a series of ongoing collaborative weaving events that focus on healing the community and create interpersonal relationships through the act of weaving together. Members of different communities are invited to bring recycled materials to weave alongside their neighbors.” ☀️ As @adriennemareebrown says, "what we give our attention to grows!"」8月26日 22時16分
