Professor Becky Earley guests Garmology this week to talk about making the industry of fashion more circular, and what circularity actually means. We cover topics such as how much we wear our clothes, the problems charity shops face, the pros and cons of user-to-user reselling, how the production of clothes has been steeply increasing and the interest from the garment industry in making in a better way, the ways materials need to change to enable recycling, how nothing can replace polyester and why garments workers can't just be paid a proper wage. And how it feels to have been working on the same problems for the past 30 years.You can find Becky on the web here and on Instagram as @becky_earleyThe link mentioned by Becky is this one: Triona Fitton's 2013 PhD thesis, ‘The ''Quiet Economy'': An Ethnographic Study of the Contemporary UK Charity Shop’.

A fashion more circular - With Professor Becky Earley (#98)

In episode 101, Kestrel welcomes trailblazing print textile designer Becky Earley to the show. A designer, researcher, educator and facilitator for circular textiles, Becky is also a key part of the research consortium work for Mistra Future Fashion, as well as the UE Horizon 2020 project Trash2Cash. "The job and role of the designer is changing radically - you're not just bringing a product to the shop floor anymore - you have to know so much more now about what will happen next."  -Becky Earley, Circular Design Expert In this episode, Becky takes us back to some of the history and evolution of her work, including her early "upcycling" projects before the word had even been established. She highlights how she believes the designer plays a unique role moving into the future and how circular design concepts are part of that shift.  Additionally, Becky shares thoughts on how moving forward, she anticipates that the user will have more control and knowledge around the speed of the things in their wardrobe. So, not only will brands ask people to bring things back to the store when they're sick of them, but products will actually be created to move at different speeds in your wardrobe. As Becky says, there will be a need for fast and slow fashion in the future.  The below thoughts, ideas + organizations were brought up in this chat:  TED (Textiles, Environment, Design): group at Chelsea University that became the origins of what is now considered, the Centre for Circular Design Textiles Future Research Centre Centre For Circular Design, website coming soon Trash2Cash, the EU Horizon 2020 project Mistra Future Fashion, research for systemic change in fashion Filippa K, a brand that Becky is working on a project for through Mistra Future Fashion Textile Toolbox, TED’s web platform project for MISTRA Future Fashion Ellen MacArthur Foundation Dutch Design Week, where Becky's team for Trash2Cash will be presenting their final prototypes Innovations in recycling waste paper into new cellulosic fiber at Aalto University in Finland

S02 Episode 101 | BECKY EARLEY + CIRCULAR DESIGN

If Professor Rebecca Earley’s concepts were implemented globally the fashion industry would function extremely different. We'd truly understand the way consumers use individual items of their wardrobe and make it our responsibility (as designers/brands) to design garments for carefully considered lifecycles. Through design, recyclability can be considered from the outset to create a circular approach. Fast fashion is not necessarily bad and if you want to know why, listen to our podcast, it's all about designing better from the outset. www.beckyearley.com www.blackneondigital.com
