Fashion and sustainability pioneer Kate Fletcher explores interrelationships between clothing and the natural world. She sees nature not as the scenery against which fashion stories unfold, but as the main event. For her, the connection of fashion and nature is the story.
A Professor at Manchester Metropolitan University and at Oslo Metropolitan University in Norway, Fletcher’s work on systems change, post-growth fashion, fashion localism and Earth Logic, both defines and challenges the field of fashion, textiles and sustainability. She is a co-founder of the Union of Concerned Researchers in Fashion.
Join Fletcher for a visionary take on fashion, not as the mouthpiece of capitalism, but as the language of the Earth.
