MENDING METHODS. Exploration of domestic mending in fashion through wardrobe studies and participatory textile making.

This PhD project focuses on the study of the slow rhythm of consumption in the field of fashion, addressing its attention to the practices of mending, both traditional and new. The project attempts to bridge the participants’ knowledge from different social settings to allow articulation of imaginaries across places, to open possibilities for shared worlding through co-exploration and participation, and to envision the futures of mending practices.
