Image: Patrick Grant
With nearly two decades in the fashion industry, Patrick Grant knows our clothing, its makers, and the production process. On 24 July, the esteemed fashion designer, founder of Community Clothing, and popular judge on The Great British Sewing Bee, will be joining Crafts members online to discuss his book, Less: Stop Buying So Much Rubbish. This passionate and eye-opening work delves into his love for clothes and his concerns about the flawed global fashion system.
As he said in an article for Crafts (Si apre in una nuova finestra)' Autumn/Winter 2022 issu (Si apre in una nuova finestra)e: 'I still have clothes that I bought in my teens that are in good condition. But who will want a second-hand fast-fashion garment in 30 years? We need to learn to feel happier with less, and to find joy in well-crafted objects that get better the more we use them.'
