The ultimate guide to loving, mending and caring for your clothing to reduce your environmental impact.
Orsola de Castro is spearheading a global movement calling for
change in the fashion industry. After founding Fashion Revolution
in 2013, she pioneered a global campaign in response to the Rana
Plaza factory collapse and became an internationally recognised
opinion leader in sustainable fashion.
Orsola is an Associate Lecturer at UAL, Visiting Fellow at CSM and
a keynote speaker, educator and mentor. She is a leading speaker on
fashion and sustainability. She has partnered with individuals like
Lily Cole, Stella McCartney, Lauren Laverne and Emma Watson at
Fashion Revolution.
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!
