She has done it in Paris and the Orkney Islands and wants to mend her way around the UK. Now she is in London. For one project she invited people to bring in clothing with holes. Responding to signs stuck on posts, they brought in things that they treasured which may not have been particularly elegant, but were special to them. Then she repaired t...

Africa and Social Responsibility inspired this project and lead to a discussion of textiles and clothing in modern Africa from dive...

Finisterre, a small 4 year old company based on the cliff tops of St Agnes, has won major national recognition at the Observer Ethical Awards for their ethical standards and dedication while building up a portfolio of outdoor clothing encompassing ground breaking R&D in fabric technology and a range of natural and recyclable fibres.

Humanity's inability to resolve it's differences peacefully has moved seraglia to create this rare and spectacular necklace. Of especial concern is the continued and projected use of nuclear weapons, whether as missile warheads or as depleted uranium in conventional weaponry.

Melissa has been making plastic shoes in Brazil since the 1970's. They have been made to be durable, fashionable, utilitarian and recyclable --- since they're made of plastic, they're all of the above (plus they're cheap!) I found this cool article that discusses the attitude and future of the company http://pingmag.jp/2008/04/28/melissa-sweet-treats-for-your-feet/

The folks over at The Year Of Denim have just updated their website to include the latest collection, Rat Years. The site takes visitors on a virtual tour displaying the new collection, but unfortunately, not a whole lot of product is visible. They attempt to provide more so an experience than to just plainly display their goods. The tour is impressive, I just wish they would’ve placed a bit more emphasis on the actual product.
