Exhibition: Regeneration
The term regeneration made its debut in the fashion vocabulary a mere few years ago. Gaining prominence among a growing audience of eco-conscious fashion lovers, the concept was embodied through a match with agricultural developments. What do farming and fashion have in common?
Regenerative farming focuses on a harmonious collaboration with nature, on the basis of indigenous ecological knowledge. Instead of depleting the land, numerous techniques are applied to enrich the soil, improve water systems and increase biodiversity.
A harvest of raw materials and respectful treatment thereof, allows for the development of so-called ‘farm-to-closet' items: clothing that not only originates from our fertile soil but can also return as compost to complete a fully natural, circular life cycle.
In addition to being a promising alternative to counter balance a rampant fashion industry, regeneration poses fundamental questions about the origins of both our clothing as well as ourselves. Where do we come from and where are we headed?
To collectively explore the meaning of regeneration in fashion, New Order of Fashion unites twelve emerging designers from across the globe. Ready to embark on a holistic quest to heal fashion and our ecosystem through a care for all approach:
