Radical Fashion Exercises: A Workbook of Modes and Methods.

Radical Fashion Exercises features over one hundred tried, tested, and speculative exercises that expand the way we look at fashion, how we are part of its system, and how we can practice fashion otherwise.

As one of the book’s contributing authors, my exercise Recategorising Colour sits alongside those of designers, curators, artists, educators, fashion practitioners, DIY home sewers and students from around the globe, who explore fashion in an expanded field. We responded to the book’s open call with contributions that challenge how to practice fashion and reflect on its systems, politics and economics. These exercises embrace interdisciplinarity, experimentation, and aesthetics, and widen fashion’s horizons as a medium for expression, embodiment and sociality.

An inspiring tool for design students, designers, writers, and practitioners of diverse disciplines, Radical Fashion Practices challenges fashion as a commodity and polluting structure in these times of uncertainty and upheaval.
