Carry Somers (UK), a proponent of ethical fashion and founder of Fashion Revolution, has recently published The Nature of Fashion, a fascinating look at how we learned to create clothing from plants. This lecture will reveal some of the most recent research involved in writing the book, as well as some of the stories included in its pages, which take us from the first vegetable fibres to the colonial era and beyond. After the talk, there will be a question and answer session moderated by Ricardo Chica, Deacon of the Faculty of Social Sciences and Education at the University of Cartagena.
