Fashion Fictions by Margot Drayson https://padlet.com/246157/1pzcm7trf0kygjj0 en-us 2021-02-15 14:00:44 UTC 2025-04-16 17:50:22 UTC hello@padlet.com Questions https://padlet.com/246157/1pzcm7trf0kygjj0/wish/1211255246
What was the motivation to start Fashion Fictions?

How has the project been affected by covid - have any workshops still been able to go ahead? 

The idea of having worlds seems similar to speculative design, speculative scenarios. Do you wish for Fashion Fictions do go beyond and take action in some sort of way, in addition to workshops?

- A world in which each garment comes with an instruction manual on ways to offset the carbon of its production

- A world in which garments are used as living diaries, each time they are worn they gain a new ‘entry’, writen onto them.  The more memories a garment holds the more it is valued.  In this world clothing can start conversations and bring people together.

This can be done virtually with a community- (also depends on the cost of postage- I wonder if Amy would have any funding for this)
the idea is so for everyone to knit a square and post it to someone in the group and this chain continues until something has been created- eg scarf/rug anything.
It could also be anything from Knit/Embroidery/print weave but as long as it is a square that can be attached to another square of the same size.
Not sure if this is a very feasible project at the minute as it could cost a little bit of money.]]> 2021-02-18 09:57:09 UTC https://padlet.com/246157/1pzcm7trf0kygjj0/wish/1214568770 2451641 https://padlet.com/246157/1pzcm7trf0kygjj0/wish/1214621679 2021-02-18 10:16:15 UTC https://padlet.com/246157/1pzcm7trf0kygjj0/wish/1214621679 Thoughts by Sonya Battla: World Conversations 2583211 https://padlet.com/246157/1pzcm7trf0kygjj0/wish/1214719433 1.If we bought an outfit with a minimum no of usage commitment. And a mandatory disposal route. For example : jacket can be sent back to the design house by purchase point in 5 years and the customer can get a replacement item for 50% it would make us aware of tracking disposability.
2. if old t shirts could be shredded into small particles and be used to fill pillows and duvets instead of duck down and goose down. We need to make this practice the norm.

While it seems like a basic concept, it is rarely actually done. A personal example was using old jean fabric to make a new (needed) pillow case.

EG. a working mill,(production completed on sight from treating fibre, to dying and then weaving, but also if artist and designers have residence in house- as such a large space there may be many designers working)  - but also an exhibition space, a place for community and learning, a space for artists in residence? A place to train through apprenticeship. Also a place of heritage with a wealth of knowledge. 
Converting the once abandoned sight to regenerate a business/community/economy - Could government or funders pay to fill abandoned spaces with live and encouraging inhabitants back to once flourishing places? Heritage business fund? Fund new business and enterprise and encourages young creatives!]]> 2021-02-19 10:31:04 UTC https://padlet.com/246157/1pzcm7trf0kygjj0/wish/1218377544 https://padlet.com/246157/1pzcm7trf0kygjj0/wish/1219349754 2021-02-19 16:08:39 UTC https://padlet.com/246157/1pzcm7trf0kygjj0/wish/1219349754
