Quality not Quantity
We’re off to shoot our new fashion campaign in Paris. Working with people who directly work in fashion is the only time I ever see fashion – I don’t see it on the street. Fashion’s about styling and I only see clones, all wearing the same pair of black tights or marks and spencers’ £29 pair of denim jeggings. For other items, the high street does not copy fashion. A skirt is designed to be sown in the shortest time by cheap labour, going from a to b in as quick as possible, whereas fashion is a highly skilled, labour intensive job.
These interns are working with us, they love fashion and some of them made themselves:
Julian, Taylor and Marina
Dear Vivienne (Andreas and all),
firstly I would very much like to thank you for what you’re doing in terms of climate and social activism!
I am writing because I would also like to ask you if it’d be possible to buy sustainable light weighted cotton from you of through your sources since I don’t know where to do so properly and my aims for textile production are small. Or in a case, you’d have a space I’d make it in collaboration with you/you’re workshop.
I am thinking about a small edition(s) of handmade screen printed, embroidered or painted ‘t-shirts’ with a graphic design of mine.
In a case this wound not be possible I am interested in an internship.
So that’s an idea.
Have a beautiful day!
