Loved Clothes Last

Rezensionen / Stimmen

Orsola's writing is musical and I hear her song through every word. It's important that everyone with an interest in fashion reads this book so we can live on a healthier planet * Arizona Muse * An incredibly thoughtful, must-read guide to future-proofing our wardrobes and most importantly the planet [...] Loved Clothes Last will change the way you see your wardrobe and how our day to day actions impact the environment * Kenya Hunt, Fashion Director, Grazia UK * The most timely book you'll read this year. We all know that the people who make our clothes are mistreated and underpaid, and we all feel a free-floating anxiety about it. But what to do? This brilliant, witty, eye-opening book will tell you * India Knight * This book is a must read for anyone who wants to understand the fashion industry as an outsider and wants direction as to where we go next. The industry is often shrouded in mystery and this book breaks it down in bite size pieces * Aja Barber, writer, activist and fashion consultant * An indispensable guide to the ethical and sustainable fashion resistance, from the woman who helped launch it into the stratosphere * Elizabeth L. Cline * Loved Clothes Last walks the small steps we can take to stop participating in this throw away culture. She talks of clothes as our "chosen skin" [...] With a needle we sew and repair clothes, but also the tears and ruptures in our relationship with nature and society. Read her book to bring love and beauty, uniqueness and permanence back in your life * Dr Vandana Shiva, scholar, author, environmental activist, and food sovereignty advocate * Congrats Orsola on crafting such a complex far reaching and urgent global issue into a helpful inspiring book with simple steps that we can all commit too and benefit from straight away * Melissa Hemsley, author and columnist for British Vogue * This book is the culmination of Orsola's lifetime of experience as a clothes healer, a mender, a designer, a radical thinker and a constant source of inspiration. She is a true pioneer, the Queen of Upcycling, an unending source of brilliant advice and truly creative ideas that will literally turn the way you think about fashion and your relationship with your clothes upside down * Tamsin Blanchard, Fashion Journalist and author * Loved Clothes Last serves as a wonderful antithesis to the idea that fashion is inherently bad. Showing us the problems that we are facing, however, showing us even more solutions and ways to individually, and collectively, make a change * Wilson Oryema, artist and writer * Always a fan of Orsola, her thinking & doing. You'll not want to put her new book down! * Safia Minney, MBE, Founder People Tree, Author & Climate Activist *
