Slow Fashion Season under way
I've signed up, though I am slightly regretting it, because after months in lockdown I am very fed up of my clothes, not helped by the fact that a lot of mine don't fit too well right now thanks to the lockdown weight gain, so the joy I was taking in trying things on for the first time in ages has waned rather. However if a challenge is easy, would it really be a challenge? And to be honest, I don't think I want new clothes so much as a change. After all these weeks, we're probably all ready for something different, even if it's just a trip to a different town. Travelling's not likely to happen, of course, so I'm just going to have to get the machine out and sew more!

I signed up too, finding it a doddle last year, as I hardly ever buy fast fashion anyway. It's good that they are now making exception for small sustainable fashion brands, though. I think that should have been the case last year as well, as these are not fast fashion in my book. xxx
ReplyDeleteYes.
DeleteThere's been a big scandal here in the UK as lockdown has highlighted the appalling conditions in clothing factories here. I really hope people start paying more attention to how the people who make clothes are treated globally.
Look forward to seeing what you make, Mim!

Hopefully a 60s-looking tie-shouldered top... we'll have to see how it comes out!
DeleteI didnt know! I work in a Vintage/ second hand store in harajuku. And I am always picking up peices there, plus the Japanese women are tiny so, I tend to stick to men’s styles or grab the trousers and dress before they get altered so they fit their tiny waists. I try hard. But when you see a peice that you know that you fit you you grab it!
ReplyDeleteOh that must be such an amazing place to work - Harajuku's *the* place for Japanese street style, isn't it?
