Tomorrow is Earth Day, and Monday marks the start of Fashion Revolution Week, so it seems apt that today’s Elsewhere is even heavier than usual on slow fashion food for thought!
• “Georgia O’Keeffe was an expert seamstress who made her own clothes and altered or otherwise preserved them herself; she kept some of her dresses for as long as sixty years.” I’m dying to see this exhibit (And there’s some lovely resonance between that and Sara Berman’s Closet)
• Praise hands for the Kentucky Cloth Project (photo, top left)
• Imagine if there were more companies like Nisolo (See also: CEO Patrick Woodyard’s TED talk on fast fashion) (bottom right)
• Great Q&As with 3 brands striving for sustainable fashion
• Plastic Fashion — a data story (thx, Anie) (top right)
• Love this “Hand-me-up shop” idea from Jussara Lee (thx, Lori)
Plus:
• In. Awe.
• Llama pinata!
• Has anyone knitted with this unusual cotton yarn, Loop? I’m so curious
• And these are some serious cute kid knits (bottom left)
I’ll be working this weekend, trying to get caught up, and in particular working on a super meaty discussion starter — a conversation I can’t wait for us to have! But here’s wishing you a relaxing weekend in the meantime—
