Creating a wasteful world – Baby Clothing

by slowmaterialism on 19. February 2018

  Why was Pink for Boys and Blue for Girls? Pink for Boys and Blue for Girls might seem strange today, but until the 1940’s a lot of people thought pink was the more masculine color and blue was clearly more feminine. So how did the switch happen? It's a long, strange story. Slået op […]

What would you like the future fashion experience to be – A, B, C or D?

by slowmaterialism on 7. February 2018

The future isn’t set in stone and we can all influence it and make choices that take those baby-steps (because, yes, change can be very slow) towards a better future for all of us.

And I’ve come across several articles recently that confound sustainable fashion with eco/eco-friendly/environmetally friendly fashion. The latter terms have been less used in recent times as sustainability seems now to apply only to concerns about the environment. As […]

Sketching out scenarios for the fashion industry

by slowmaterialism on 15. August 2017

Lately I’ve almost felt more like a cartoonist than a fashion designer, and frankly it’s been fun. Researching technology, trend forecasts and theories people have about the future of the fashion industry in order to make up my own ideas of how things could develop and then sketching out my scenarios, so that I can […]

Future Fashion Survey

by slowmaterialism on 11. August 2017

I have created a questionnaire as a part om my MA research. I believe the future is for us all to shape together. Therefore I want to present you with four future fashion scenarios. The scenarios represent consumer experiences that are based on existing predictions and emerging technologies and how they are being used and […]

Having my bike stolen last Sunday has reminded me why I am doing this project.
