Regeneration
Regeneration: The process of regenerating - renewing or restoring something after it has been depleted, damaged or lost.
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 you may ask?
Regenerative agriculture 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.
Programme
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?
