The nature of fashion & the problematic laundry pile

Description

Jade Whitson-Smith is a lecturer in textile practice in the Department of Fashion and Textiles at the University of Huddersfield and is co-curating the exhibition. “The Laundry Pile presents quite a unique perspective on the topic of sustainable fashion,” she said. “No one seems to want to talk about their dirty laundry, but this represents a huge obstacle for the environmental ambitions of the fashion industry. We hope the installation is thought provoking, and starts some conversations about how we might start to tackle this complex issue.”
