When archeology meets slow fashion. TIL* about the Bernuthsfelddude tunic, a well preserved >1000yr old sheep-wool garment constructed from 45 recycled parts.
I don't have a massive interest in clothes but do find complicated constructions intriguing. And the more I look the more I see how this one is.
Reconstructing something like this would be a fun challenge on one of those Great [countryname] Sewing / Knitting / Crocheting TV shows.
*well, Thursday

Pleased to see that #SewingMachines have the highest success rate (70%) in the 2026 Open Repair dataset from @restartproject!
Fixing & maintaining your #SewingMachine not only keeps the machine itself out of the landfill, it also enables so many other mending and creation opportunities!
Exercise your #RightToRepair. Reject #FastFashion. Create your own look while helping the planet.

Hier in der Region haben Ende Sept. alle 2.hand-Kleiderläden des Roten Kreuzes geschlossen, das sind fast alle. Grund: Vermüllte Sammelkontainer und zu viel Fast Fashion machen das Ganze unrentabel. Für mich fällt da fast komplett die Möglichkeit weg, gute Kleidung zu kaufen.

Fast fashion ka asar poore ecosystem par pad raha hai. Micro-seasons aur textile waste ek bada crisis hain. 🌍
Kya brands aur consumers is cycle ko rok sakte hain, ya sustainable alternatives abhi bhi mehnge hain? Sochiyega!
Fast fashion ka asar sirf hamari wardrobe par nahi, balki poore ecosystem par pad raha hai. Micro-seasons aur excessive textile waste ab ek bada crisis ban chuke hain. 🌍
Kya brands aur consumers dono milkar is fast-paced cycle ko rok sakte hain, ya sustainable alternatives abhi bhi aam logo ke liye bahut mehnge hain? Aapka kya sochna hai?

Upcycling: Fashion Punks against Fast Fashion
16 min
Upcycling is all the rage. But the pioneers didn't wait for it to be cool before salvaging second-hand clothes and fabrics. Since the 1990s, JJ Hudson, alias Dr Noki, a figure of the London underground, has been transforming used clothes into wearable works of art, hijacking logos and brands to strip them of their advertising power. In Paris, Lamine Badian Kouyaté, founder of Xüly Bët, deconstructs sportswear and reuses fabric scraps to create unique pieces.

#FastFashion ist ein Umweltproblem: Ressourcenverbrauch und Müllberge sind die Kehrseite der billigen Wegwerfmode. Dagegen hat die Stadt Bristol nun ein Werbeverbot verhängt. Auch für Kreuzfahrten und SUVs darf im öffentlichen Raum nicht mehr geworben werden. 👏

@Snoro ... not to forget the workers in the inside hells of #fastFashion production, often in direct contact with toxic stuff or in extreme humidity.
11/ Ich hatte schon Bilder von ihr gesehen. Diesmal konnte ich endlich selber welche machen. Sie hat an der #HTW #Mode studiert (wusste gar nicht, dass es an der @HTW_Berlin einen solchen Studiengang gibt.) Das war ihre Masterarbeit. Sie hat eine 1,0 dafür bekommen.
Das ist definitiv keine #FastFashion, denn mit so einer Schleppe kommt man nicht schnell voran. Oh, da habe ich wohl etwas verwechselt.
As an American, it's cool to watch sensible countries passing sensible laws
If you see my crying about it, just ignore me, you know why I'm feeling that way living where I do
" #France Adopts Landmark #Law Targeting Ultra- #FastFashion"
"Ces modèles suivent des objectifs différents, selon Oxfam. Pour les ressourceries, recycleries et boutiques solidaires, c'est "de réduire les déchets", de créer "des emplois locaux non délocalisables", d'accompagner "des personnes éloignées de l'emploi", de rendre "les vêtements accessibles aux ménages modestes" ou encore de renforcer "la cohésion des territoires et le tissu social", décrit l'ONG. Elle cite ainsi Emmaüs ou la Croix-Rouge, acteurs historiques du secteur. "
