for the last 30 seconds
you’ve all thought of at least one
garment that was unnecessarily
your wardrobe
this small drop for example
normally on become too short but
which is so good that these pants
finally you keep it or it
sweater in which there is a hole that
blow you have put aside in you
promising that someday you’re going to
repair but it’s been two years since
wait for you recognize me too
and that’s normal stories like that
we all have a wardrobe with one or
two pieces that drags it’s of course
not a crime
that says many studies are advancing
much more challenging numbers
as for example 70% in our
wardrobe would not be worn according to
different sources
there is also a dozen or even 50 forgiveness
20 kg
the garment that would be thrown away each
year by person and we tear off and
very thirty it looks a bit like
of food waste us but
have a busy full wardrobe
to crack it’s mostly a indicators
alarming of our consumption
excessive clothing that breeds
excessive production is winning but
this production is mostly a problem
with regard to the energy used and
pollution and rights
of the man of the woman and the child
constantly flouted you know that for
produce jeans
it takes about a million e per year 1 kg
guides and cotton and to have this
kilogram of cotton you need 5000 to
25 thousand liters of water 2 kg of fertilizer
chemicals and 75 g of pesticides and if
speak only about cotton so no
transport nor washing ennoblement in
exterior paint so fades out a
little bit to all these numbers that me
I decided to do something to my
scale and I opened a shop of
second hand here in namur because I esteem
that the second hand is a way of
reduce a little bit its footprint
ecological and very soon after
the opening of the store
I had as my project to associate myself with
a stylist to show that he is
possible to dress very well
pretty with old clothes and this to
from that moment that the uci is
returned on the scene quite actually
the idea of reworking clothes from
second hand trotted me already in the lead
for a little while
having studied in
anthropology before my training
stylism the issues of ethics and
sustainability in the fashion sector
are quickly imposed on me when we
knows that we produce 57 million
tons of textile waste
every year there is something to ask
questions so suddenly when I saw
that you are looking for a stylist for a
project around the second hand me
I went straight without knowing
what I was doing in fact and
thankfully because if I had been told
that I was going to have to speak in front of 600
people
the crunch would have directly made a
video but suddenly at that moment you
already knew we would participate in
tea leaks no no not at all
reassured but it was really a
project that I had me at the shop soon
the departure is actually one or two months
after opening I have some
mutated people says they came
to visit me and asked me to
do a collaboration that I have everything from
accepted
a bit like you I do not have at all
to where I was going and not much time
after you’ve taken part in the project I
introduced them to the project
and they said it’s great and
super happy in any case for us tonight
it’s really a great opportunity to
able to present our project but
we wanted to clarify that we are really
far from being the only ones to believe years
alternative projects in the
domain of slow fashion
there are plenty of them either
international in belgium and even
namur there are several
and you with your fashion studies at
tubes maybe tips or what
you buy back in a sustainable way
quite for the consumer one can
easily favor the quality to the
amount
look where were our
clothes inquire about brands
that we would like to buy back these are
some examples of things that we
can do on the side of the creators it is
a little more complex but it’s according to
me there that is the real stake for the
future we can for example design and
clothes that produce directly
a lot less textile waste
we can also privilege the use
so-called unwanted
so these are all those things that
today usually ends at the
trash the challenge is to show that
do they have a lot of potential
so these are for example the waste
from the production also the
purposes of stocks of industrial fabrics or
even clothes that are skillful and
what we really want to show is that
thanks to these unwanted
we can actually make creations that
are unique and reduced cost
that’s exactly what we did for
our collection we get you
present this collection today
expectations of upgrading clothes
which once were damaged or a little
too hard to wear and so is it
picked up pieces from the shop that
was therefore unsaleable and illzach
was working 100% so his collection
harbor anyway
simple but modern cuts there are
streetwear like pieces a little
more chic and masculine feminine and we
hope that through this collection you
will be as convinced as we are that the
second hand has a lot of future
a lot of potential a lot of
possibilities then we leave you in
laurent cinnamon nour company
xavier gilly and amandine who will you
show that you can dress with
clothes that had died at the
trash without having a bag
