What are sustainable textiles?

What are sustainable textiles? What are textiles, even? And actually, how do we define sustainability?This term — sustainable textiles — gets passed around a lot. It’s one that’s used by designers sourcing materials that are better or from a particular category, so it is useful to ask: “Do you have sustainable textiles?” But whether we can unpick the responses to truly understand if they’re sustainable or not, that’s what’s important.Here I’ll give some basics — what textiles are, and what

Why fashion matters.

2025/03/15

Why does fashion matter? With the countless social and environmental issues that abound from the fashion industry, would we be better off if it didn’t exist at all?This is obviously incredibly impractical and is highly speculative. Yet, posing the question about what would happen if we removed the fashion sector from the tumult caused to people and animals and planet, leads us also to question why fashion matters.I always come back to this question, when I’m creating or when teaching. We talk of

Among The Trees.

Reflection of the 2020 Hayward Gallery exhibition featuring artists that explore our relationship with trees. I visited during a pandemic lockdown lift and here I revisit.Among the Trees was at the Hayward Gallery, London 4 March – 31 October 2020. I visited during one of the lockdown lifts, so the gallery was sparser in visitors, more controlled, everyone in masks. The subject of trees probably hit hard for those unable to access much green space over this period, and then to see them

Reflection on two past exhibitions presenting indigo traditions from Nigeria and Japan to highlight the hyperlocal craft narrative associated with the colour.Back in 2019, the fairly newly opened Coal Drops Yard of King’s Cross, London was host to a multitude of events that encouraged people to gather, and in particular, become connected to crafts explored by the many retailers.

OmVed Gardens.

2025/02/12

An August "slow morning" visit to OmVed Gardens in North London, with a demonstration from ceramic artist Lyson Marchessault on making wild-urban bricks.Though Highgate is only down the road for me (or rather, up a hill), as I find with many other London garden spaces, I just can’t make it when they’re open. So, finally, on a hot August day I jumped upon the opportunity to visit the OmVed Garden for a “slow morning” and receive a demo from potter Lyson on making bricks using “wild” clay and straw

What does 'sustainable fashion' mean?

Food-Fibre-Fashion ·

2025/02/11

Some thoughts and opinions on what ‘sustainable fashion’ means in the mainstream — to brands, and to the public — and what it really means.Back in 2011, I started my MA Fashion and the Environment at London College of Fashion. Or, in a less wordy-more generalised title, ‘sustainable fashion’. At this time, the phrase was only a whisper amongst tight circles, and otherwise we were speaking of ‘ethical fashion’. Other bandied about terms included eco fashion and slow fashion.Here I’ll introduce some
