Rezensionen / Stimmen
"We have been led to believe fashion is a means to squander resources for vanity. But as Odabasi shows, fashion is not a cemetery for discarded time, but a reservoir of revitalized imagination. Opening the wardrobe to deep study, Odabasi proposes a series of sagacious systems to rethink upcycling and ask: What kind of history do we want fashion to write?"
Dr. Otto von Busch, Professor, Parsons School of Design at The New School, USA
