Anagram: the bodywarmer versus your wardrobe
M–Y–W–A–R–D–R–O–B–E
A Bodywarmer as a social & sustainable fashion-statement:
- For the one who makes your clothes, like a warm embrace
- For the planet, turn down the heating and wrap yourself
- By reusing existing material or even one that is fully circular
- For inclusivity, embrace each other
- For yourself, what do you want to wear on your body? How important is it to you that clothes are made of fibres that are not harmful to your health and the health of others? That those who make your clothes are paid a living wage?
The bodywarmer made by you, as a symbol against exploitation of garment workers and for sustainable handling of clothes, textiles and each other.
Feel free to fill in this challenge however you like, it is not so important whether it is a wearable piece, you decide the medium. That can also be a photograph or a work of art. You can use textiles or other material that is already there, or make your own material, anything goes, you choose.
We will show the first results of this challenge at a show or exhibition during Fashion Revolution Week 2024. Do you already have a surprising creation in mind?
Keep an eye on our website or our instagram channel, @over_lap.nl for the continuation of this challenge. We will also organise some meetings and workshops around this project.
Will you join us?
