AGREENCULTURE at the Future Fabric Expo
We are at the Future Fabric Expo today and tomorrow. You can take a look at what we’ve learned from day one on our Instagram stories @_colechi. There is so much to take in - from textiles made out of waste balloons, to understanding the growing discussion on the growth and potential of regenerative materials; feeling the softest samples on the knit rack, to being overwhelmed at just how many certifications exist!
We are selling our print journal at a special FFE rate - £25 instead of £40 for a paperback. Come over if you are around - we are at the wool corner.
about Colèchi journal issue 1: AGREENCULTURE
Our journal is a collaborative book with voices from growers, weavers, designers, scientists, media and upcyclers to provoke new thinking and collaboration on how the clothing industry can work with nature alongside insight from rural farms to bridge the conversation between agriculture and design methods in the fast paced city. The journal features the voices of leaders including Tamsin Blanchard, Orsola de Castro, Alice Robinson & Sara Grady, Rebecca Burgess, Emma Slade Edmondson, Ngoni Chikwenengere and more.
The journal contains 208 pages of essays, writings and photography giving both a local and international perception on farming and fashion. Blending academic research style with the aesthetic and approach of a magazine.
