local wisdom comes to bollington...

aaron sweater - 'never washed, much loved'







over the last few months, i have been working on a fascinating project called 'local wisdom' with fellow bollingtonian, kate fletcher, who works at the london school of fashion.

kate's research work focuses on the issue of sustainability, and this project is all about how ordinary people connect with their clothes. i have been involved taking photographs for the project which will be part of the 'fashion for good' exhibition in sydney, australia, where kate is giving the keynote speech in july.

we have already visited totnes and worked with members of the community there. now it's bollington's chance to show us what they're made of!

for more information about this project, and to find out how you can take part, please visit www.localwisdom.info
