| Description: | This articles discusses how the act of slowing down and not sewing and not stitching can provide a critical intervention in fashion’s sped-up system and show that an alternative ecological and socially regenerative fashion process is possible. Could this approach challenge the structures of knowledge, that result in myths related to Eurocentric and Anglo-American forms of thinking dominated by an objectivist and universalist knowledge system? Could the act of not sewing help to re-think fashion’s dependency away from capitalist economies in which fashion consumers are seen as passive and disconnected from both the designer, the design process and global inequalities? |
