Hi all,
Would love to share this new report on Fashion and Degrowth published by Research & Degrowth!
https://degrowth.org/blog/2025/11/10/clothing-the-planet-within-limits/
Some of us were consulted in this process and Fashion Act Now and defashion are mentioned so it's exciting to see the outcome!
Let us know your thoughts!
Hi everyone, I will present the research and findings from my master's project Feminist Fashion Futures: Feminist Perspectives on Degrowth and Commons in Fashion at tonight's monthly member's forum. The project examines what feminist degrowth can teach us about building just and sustainable alternatives to the industrial fashion system.
The report – which I have attached below (please don't share outside this community) – explores how feminist theory, degrowth and the commons can come together to challenge fashion’s extractive and exploitative foundations and gender opression.
During this session we will consider question such as:
•What can defashion learn from feminist degrowth?
•How can commons-based models redistribute care and labour more equally?
•What role can cooperatives play as transitional pathways towards post growth fashion systems?
We'd really appreciate you taking a moment to respond by liking this message or posting an emoji. Thank you so much for participating!!! 🙏🙏😀
Why am I doing this? Last week we sent out a similar message to test who is receiving these posts. Unfortunately, there were only 3 responses, demonstrating something is going wrong. To make sure that wasn't an anomaly, I'm running the experiment again before we consider a rethink how this platform works.
In other news, we did make changes to the platform this week. Forums are now 'groups', as found in the drop down menu on the top right of your screen. Really, they still work like forums but you can join whichever discussion group interests you. I've made everyone part of this 'organising and collaborating' group.
Lastly, it is Wednesday again, which means we'll have our weekly meeting this evening, 6pm UK time, 7pm CEST,…
Super excited for this!!!!!
