Instagram post 2241620968969826567_2070318920 The garment production process is full of many different steps fulfilled by many different hands along the way...each hand only looking to complete its mission before handing on to the next. For this reason it is extremely important to have one set of eyes 👀 overseeing everything and keeping track of the big picture, to ensure the final garment vision is achieved. (Pic via @doan_ly )

Instagram post 2227042331402515081_2070318920 #Repost @fash_rev ✊🌈 ・・・ Cloth in context… In her book, ‘The Golden Thread’, Kassia St Clair writes, “We live surrounded by cloth. We are swaddled in it at birth and shrouds are drawn over our faces in death. We sleep enclosed by layer upon layer of it - like the pea that woke the princess in the fairy tale - and, when we wake, we clothe ourselves in yet more of it to face the world and let it know who we shall be that day.” “Our cavalier attitude to cloth today would be anathema to our ancestors. Textiles have allowed humans the ability to live in and travel through a plethora of regions that might otherwise have proved too cold to be hospitable. Rich silks and warm woollen clothes bartered through trade networks such the Silk Roads facilitated cross-cultural exchanges of ideas, craft techniques and people.” Often these exchanges, sometimes better known as colonisation, were largely exploitative. Cotton in many ways brought the British Empire to India and upheld slavery in the United States. Fur hats contributed to European settlements in Canada oppressing indigenous people along the way. Sheep’s wool made possible the travel of Vikings. And as St Clair points out, even advancement in protective textiles made possible Man’s mission to space. In almost every tragedy, and every advancement of human society, materials have had a hand in shaping our world and our future. So as we think about how to shape a more sustainable world, let’s consider textiles as the building blocks of a world in which we wish to live. #FashionRevolution #WhatsInMyClothes?

Instagram post 2226420312907966285_2070318920 Some exciting behind the scenes action from the @shopjoeywolffer #joeywolfferreworked collection. It had been so much fun to plan the production processes for their sustainable collection and re-worked items. Sustainable fashion supply chains often aren’t straightforward and each project usually requires its own set of creative problem-solving. At @thefactory8 we enjoy the challenges of incorporating sustainability, and sometimes we even have fun along the way...

A girl from the The Longhorn Miao tribe in China who wear impressive headpieces  made by wrapping woollen strands around a large horn-shaped wooden comb. The headpieces were originally made from the hair of ancestors, in order to keep them close, and they would be preserved for up to four generations. Photo by Jimmy Nelson
