The aim is to promote the use of repaired clothing and challenge aesthetic norms that prioritise a “new” appearance. Many wardrobes contain clothes that remain unworn—whether because they are out of fashion, have stains or holes, or have simply been forgotten. SPACE FOR TEXTILES and SPACE FOR REPAIR explore how design can extend the lifespan of textiles and make their use as sustainable as possible. Textile production is one of the three biggest global contributors to water and land use and ranks among the top five industries responsible for raw material consumption and greenhouse gas emissions.
