From sitting in the lecture by 'Prof. Ulrich Lehmann', it gave me a different outlook regarding Fashion and waste. - Instead of linking fashion to waste regarding a rubbish tip, it made me think about the waste that the fashion industry produces itself.
This idea that the market deliberately producing clothes that will wear and tear in time, so people have to buy new items of clothing. - Unlike years ago, it is very rare that you will buy a coat, for example, that will last you five to ten years.
From this, I wanted to tie my idea of "someone's junk is someone elses treasure", as some artists, mentioned in the lecture 'repair' items and some 'recycle'.
If the fashion market keep throwing out and discarding perfectly reuseable items, just because they are 'not in season' etc, surely to someone else this 'junk' is a 'treasure' to find..?
