Folk Fashion: Understanding Homemade Clothes

Autor Dr Amy Twigger Holroyd
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 2 feb 2020
A dynamic resurgence in sewing and knitting is under way, with many people enjoying making and mending their own garments at home. However, stories abound of homemade clothes languishing at the back of the wardrobe. Amy Twigger Holroyd draws on ideas of fashion, culture and craft to explore makers' lived experiences of creating and wearing homemade clothes in a society dominated by shop-bought garments. Using the innovative metaphor of fashion as common land, Folk Fashion investigates the complex relationship between making, well-being and sustainability. Twigger Holroyd combines her own experience as a designer and knitter with first-hand accounts from folk fashion makers to explore this fascinating, yet under-examined, area of contemporary fashion culture.Looking to the future, she also considers how sewers and knitters might maximise the radical potential of their activities.

Recenzii

[Holroyd] suggests that in a social moment when making clothes is no longer a practical necessity ... For me, as a folklorist and artist, this creative possibility is the essence of folk. A highly recommended book!
