With these videos, the project leaders hope to make as many people as possible aware of the concept of sustainable fashion, by encouraging them to change their consumption habits. The\u00a0demonstration videos shot by the young duo are accompanied by detailed explanations of the various sewing techniques.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The techniques fall into five categories: remake, repair, resize, recolor and decorate. They allow, among other things, to turn a t-shirt into a dress and to sew two different shirts together to create a new one. \u201cIn the early stage, what we need most of all is people who inspire others and wear their fixed clothes with pride. Then we start to build our community, provide more techniques, ideas, examples and so on,\u201d Hakkens explains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Fixing Fashion was launched in April 2021, during the coronavirus crisis. “Now we are observing how the community takes it up and reacts” continues the designer. The project was created in response to fast fashion, which brings together major e-commerce brands offering, according to the designer, “poor quality clothes at very low prices, which flood consumers’ closets and finally end up in tatters on the beaches of Africa.”Via their Instagram page fixing\u00a0fashion\u00a0community, the founders\u00a0regularly publish photos of their creations with the link to explanatory videos. By sharing their knowledge on clothing repair, the designers hope to bring together a large, supportive community around sustainable fashion, with their platform as a primary rallying point.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Dutch designers Alicia Minaard and Dave Hakkenshave launched the Fixing Fashion movement, which is the latest project of the One Army for the Planet foundation,\u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":16718,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[498],"tags":[3006,3007,3005,3009,3010,3008],"class_list":["post-16717","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-architecture-and-design","tag-alicia-minaard","tag-dave-hakkenshave","tag-fixing-fashion","tag-one-army-for-the-planet-foundation","tag-sustainability","tag-the-fixing-fashion-movement"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/archibat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Capture-decran-2021-10-25-a-10.01.40.png\")
