In World 270, people curate their wardrobe with old textiles and yarn waste in a style of textile sculptures. People personalise and embellish their clothing with mantras, ideas, thoughts and feelings. Let’s be free to use huge metres of fabric mended through slow sustainable stitches or little scraps of fabric patched together. To openly communicate and connect, to explore clothing as a means of offering encouragement, advice, waste no longer being labelled as “rubbish” but to share with others.
