Loved Clothes Last

Autor Orsola De Castro
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 11 feb 2021

Observăm în Loved Clothes Last o schimbare de paradigmă necesară în relația noastră cu obiectele vestimentare: trecerea de la consumul pasiv la îngrijirea activă. Capitolul dedicat tehnicilor de recondiționare nu este doar un set de instrucțiuni tehnice, ci o pledoarie pentru „radical grace”, așa cum este descrisă abordarea autoarei în recenziile de specialitate. Găsim în această carte un ghid care ne învață să scrutăm critic etichetele și să înțelegem valoarea reală a materialelor, dincolo de tendințele sezoniere.

Orsola De Castro extinde cadrul propus de F**k Fast Fashion cu date noi despre amprenta de carbon a industriei textile, oferind însă o perspectivă mult mai personală și axată pe măiestrie. Dacă alte titluri similare, precum Mend it, Wear it, Love it! de Zoe Edwards, se concentrează strict pe partea practică a cusutului, Loved Clothes Last integrează aceste tehnici într-o filosofie de viață sustenabilă. Cartea continuă misiunea începută de autoare în Geliebte Sachen, rafinând conceptele de upcycling și conservare a resurselor pentru un public global.

Suntem de părere că relevanța acestui volum pentru curriculumul educației ecologice moderne este incontestabilă. Textul nu se limitează la a critica industria de tip „fast fashion”, ci oferă soluții concrete pentru a transforma o garderobă existentă într-una durabilă. Stilul este direct, ancorat în realitățile economice și de mediu, transformând actul de a cârpi sau de a repara dintr-o necesitate istorică într-un gest de rezistență politică și estetică.

An indispensable guide to the ethical and sustainable fashion resistance, from the woman who helped launch it into the stratosphere
Loved Clothes Last walks the small steps we can take to stop participating in this throw away culture.

Hands down Academic Couture. Loved Clothes Last is a beautifully constructed and eloquently written masterpiece. Orsola weaves the importance of the cultural influence of the fashion industry, how it's destroyed us and how it can save us with the economic and environmental impact on people and planet, the beauty of buttons and how to darn a sock, she successfully interlaces "why we wear" with "why we should care
Orsola represents both radical grace and graceful radicalness. This book is a super inspiring how to guide for all of us that want to emulate her
