The End of the Textile Industry

We have enough clothes and textiles to last us a decade. So what if we simply stopped producing more? In ‘The End of the Textile Industry’, Laurianne Da Rocha imagines a future in which fashion is no longer based on new things. She does that in four ways. First, a timeline describes what will happen over the next fifty years. Second, a series of interviews in which she enters people’s wardrobes and invites them into her future scenario. Third, five magazines published at five moments along her timeline predict the future. Fourth, five outfits all composed of a white blouse and a pair of jeans. Her message: our relationship to clothes and to fashion needs revising.
