Woven & Worn offers a fascinating insight into the workings of
innovative global craftspeople who create environmentally-conscious
clothing in a bid to protect the planet from the ruinous effects of
a toxic industry. Within this book, talented artisan makers such as
weavers, dressmakers, dyers, and jewellers give consumers the power
to alter the tired fabric of the fashion industry and embrace the
energetic campaign for a sustainable circular economy. Marking a
potential revival of the make-do-and-mend era, Woven & Worn
showcases the variety of materials and processes used to craft
wearables with both longevity and soul. Demonstrating the diversity
within sustainable garment making, this title highlights
ground-breaking renewable materials created from by-products of the
food industry, such as banana and fish skins, as well as ingenious
techniques, and "zero waste" production methods, including
utilising offcut materials and upcycling vintage fabrics. Discover
tactile vegan leather rucksacks, painterly plant-dyed textiles, and
intricate reclaimed plastic adornment alongside traditional repair
techniques such as darning and sashiko. Delve into the unseen
creative workspaces of skilled crafters; admire their unique tools
and processes, and absorb their intriguing stories. Sustainability
is tightly woven into their creative practices as they tackle the
wasteful industry, one beautifully-crafted garment at a time.
