Every garment you wear - no matter how simple or how fancy, no matter how cheap or how expensive - is made by people sitting at sewing machines (and in some cases, hand sewing).

also how is he not one of the kens weve been robbed
Re: publishers and writers “moaning” about aspects of publishing and its processes. It’s pretty simple. Both are workers. Workers get to interrogate the conditions of their labour and agitate for improvements. There’s not a special exclusion clause because books are involved.

Our writing income because it’s *not very much money* and so have to have another job. I’m not sure you can call the need to have two jobs to make up one income a ‘hobby’ 🫠
Just read a (v good) thread about the woeful state of advances but it also said that the industry will soon only be left with ‘hobby authors’ who don’t make their main income from writing. This is a v funny way to think of authors who, like me, could never rely on…
I’ve gotten a couple replies from people saying it’s not really fast fashion if they wear their clothes forever, and that’s not what fast fashion is. Fast fashion is a business model of hypertrends + high turnover. Basically making a lot, making it quickly, and making it cheaply.

To expand on this: The Met Gala funds The Costume Institute. The Costume Institute is one of the premier institutes for the study, research, and preservation of fashion in the world. The Department currently holds over 30,000 items spanning 7 centuries.

right freelance journalists in the making - i'm asked what a good pitch looks like a LOT these days, so here we GO // a basic thread of DOs and DO NOTs 🧵
No one is saying you have to throw your entire closet away. What we are saying is…okay, moving forward, what are steps you can take to do better, and “Wear your clothes until they wear out, take better care of them, be more deliberate about buying,” are all accessible things.
Wearable Sculpture: Meet CSM Student Vesper Alexander asbomagazine.com/2022/11/04/wea… via @ASBOMagazine Loved writing this piece for ASBO! An interview with the lovely and incredibly talented Vesper Alexander ✨ #fashion #emergingartists #designers #centralsaintmartins
Sometimes I just think about how there’s absolutely no silver lining to Shein. The clothes are full of lead. The clothes are made in exploitative conditions. The clothes are contributing to pollution and global warming. The clothing designs are stolen. And the clothes fall apart.
I can’t stop thinking about how the divorce rate for men leaving their really sick wives is so high that nurses are taught to warn women patients when they get diagnosed with a serious illness
