Why #EVERYWOMAN Matters

1. Queremos cantar el amor al azar, las energías alternativas y la sustentabilidad.
2. La conciencia, el respeto, la unión, serán elementos esenciales de nuestra poesía.
3. La literatura exaltó en el pasado, la inmovilidad pensativa, el éxtasis y el sueño. Después fue el movimiento agresivo, el insomnio febril, el paso de corrida, el salto mortal, el cachetazo y el puñetazo. Hoy el movimiento SLOW nos salva con la movilidad pensativa, el dialogo con la naturaleza y el interior de cada individuo. “Actitud sin prisa” significa trabajar en busca de una mejor productividad, conociendo el antes y el después de lo que generamos, para corregir y superar la calidad con creatividad.
4. Nosotros afirmamos que la magnificencia del mundo se ha empobrecido con la aparente belleza de la velocidad irracional. Un coche de carreras con su capó adornado con gruesos tubos parecidos a serpientes de aliento explosivo... un automóvil rugiente, que parece correr sobre la ráfaga, es más mortal que la Victoria de Samotracia.
5. Queremos ensalzar la producción sustentable, estudiar el ciclo del producto generado, que evoluciona con la tierra, sobre el circuito de su órbita, y vuelve para mejorar y perdurar en el tiempo.
6. Es necesario que el diseño se cuestione, con calma, racionalidad y liberalidad, para elegir el mejor camino y exaltar los elementos primordiales de la existencia humana.
7. No existe belleza alguna si no es buena. Ninguna obra que no tenga un carácter positivo puede ser una obra maestra. La poesía debe ser concebida en común acuerdo con las fuerzas desconocidas, para enriquecer al hombre.
8. ¡Nos encontramos sobre un promontorio cambio climático, el más elevado de los siglos!... ¿Porqué deberíamos mirar las espaldas, para vivir y reconsiderar el futuro? El Tiempo y el Espacio nacieron ayer. Nosotros vivimos en conciencia, porque hemos creado la vida lenta.
9. Queremos glorificar la paz –la armonía del mundo– el pacifismo, la cultura regional y universal, el gesto constructor de los libertarios, las bellas ideas por las cuales se vive, el aprecio a la mujer y el hombre.
10. Queremos realizar obras en los museos, las bibliotecas, las academias de todo tipo, brindarle otras opciones a los moralistas, la libertad, la utilidad de las oportunidades comunes, la cercanía con los recursos naturales.
11. Cantaremos para revalorizar nuestra identidad, la riqueza de la Región del Río de la Plata, Uruguay el pequeño gran país donde vivimos. Lucharemos por generar una cultura de moda local, no global, acercándonos al campo, los ovinos y su lana, los hábitos, los usos y costumbres del lugar donde creamos y producimos.

1. I am the idiot who takes too much notice of marketing
2. Peers
3. Total lack of confidence
4. It is not too late to reform
5. Appreciate what I have and use it in a positive way to stop needing the purchasing Buzz
6. Create my own newness

1. A progressive minimalist understands that the rate of our consumption is ecologically unsustainable. They understand that in order to stay under the limits of what’s considered an acceptable rise of global warming (2C above pre-industrial levels), the most effective individual solution is to consume less.
2. A progressive minimalist understands that choosing to consume less physical goods actively signals that chasing ephemeral pleasures is not their priority and is counter-intuitive to a meaningful life.
3. A progressive minimalist understands that responsible consumption involves being selective when it comes to the products/services that they purchase and/or use. Part of being selective is considering the ethics of the companies and manufacturers that produce and sell these products/services.
4. A progressive minimalist calls for a redefinition of work. They acknowledge that non-financially compensated forms of work including child care, volunteering, and so forth, is just as valid and important as work that is rewarded by the private market.
5. A progressive minimalist refutes the notion that you have to “hustle” in order to achieve optimal productivity. Instead, productivity is measured by working efficiently and strategically on the few things that matter. How you work is just as important as what you work on.
6. A progressive minimalist believes that GDP is an ineffective measurement of human prosperity, quality of work, and quality of actual jobs. They encourage alternative calculations to be used including the Genuine Progress Indicator (GPI), which also takes into account human capital, social capital, and environmental capital.
7. A progressive minimalist recognizes that committing their labour towards improving the well-being of society is not only important to individual meaningfulness but to the sustainability of society. This doesn’t mean quit your day job to join an NGO, but rather incorporating pragmatic solutions into your existing life: participating in charity events, becoming a board member of a local charity, or as rudimentary as deciding to compost your food waste.
8. A progressive minimalist understands that the core of this philosophy can be watered down to five words: individual responsibility for sustainable prosperity.

1. Create an ‘activist knowledge ecology’, that is, to develop a system of knowledge about fashion sustainability that is concerned with how knowledge is organised and shared as well as the data points themselves, and to direct such a system purposefully towards fostering change;
2. Advocate for whole systems and paradigm change, beyond current norms and business-as-usual. This includes rejecting overly-cautious economic, legislative and policy frameworks;
3. Diversify the voices within fashion and sustainability discourse, to reflect multiple perspectives beyond the dominant business approaches presented, including but not limited to the global south and indigenous communities;
4. Express our determined opposition to ill-advised and destructive fashion projects;
5. Formulate visions—and corresponding research practices—that allow for the possibility of enacting new relationships between humans and Earth in the context of fashion;
6. Take a leadership role in debating existing and new ideas and creating action around fashion-sustainability themes, especially in areas where the generation of new knowledge is of actual or potential significance;
7. Devise means for turning research applications towards the underlying root causes of pressing environmental and social problems, including but not limited to climate change, wealth inequality, biodiversity loss, and plastic pollution;
8. Organise, when determined desirable and feasible, fashion researchers to translate radical step change into effective political, and other, action;
9. Review and revise, when deemed necessary, this manifesto.

We’re in business to save our home planet.

MANIFESTO FOR A FASHION REVOLUTION

A Manifesto for the Study of Denim

Consumer Culture: The Day Your Baby's Wardrobe Became Better Than Yours | Vigga Svensson | TEDxKEA

'Architects, sculptors, painters – we all must return to craftsmanship! For there is no such thing as “art by profession". There is no essential difference between the artist and the artisan. The artist is an exalted artisan.'

Key Social Focus:

Supporting Artisans: Encouraging the preservation of local skills and cultural heritage.

Community Care: Committing to and looking after the people involved in the supply chain.

Conscious Consumption: Educating consumers to buy less and cherish clothes longer, reducing the demand for fast-fashion exploitation.
