In a world where clothes rush from design to landfill in the blink of an eye, Not So Fast Fashion invites us to pause - to trace the quiet labour of hands, the memory held in fibres, and the deep connection between textiles and the places they emerge from. 

This talk wanders through the landscapes of craft, care, and regeneration, exploring how ancient skills and local materials can help us rediscover a gentler relationship with what we wear.  It reflects on supply chains that contract, design practices rooted in community and ecology, and the possibility of clothing that restores rather than extracts. 

Join us as we unravel stories of people, place, and planet with threads that, when knitted and woven together with intention, might point toward a more hopeful future for fashion.
