Repair and Society podcast with a particular focus on mending clothing looks at repair as an act of care and attachment, as form of resistance and problem-solving, as a therapeutical and creative gesture, as form of sharing and coping with crisis. Even though we can’t save the world, we can try to mend it!

Mending as engaging with the things which already exist
Amy Twigger Holroyd is Associate Professor of Fashion and Sustainability in the School of Art & Design. Through design-led participatory research, she explores plural possibilities for post-growth fashion systems: alternative ways of living with our clothes that meet our fundamental human needs and respect ecological limits. The main vehicle for this research is her Fashion Fictions project, which brings people together to imagine, explore and enact alternative fashion worlds as an unconventional route to real-world change. Amy founded the project in 2020 and it has already involved thousands of participants across six continents. Fashion Fictions was funded by a Research, Development and Engagement Fellowship from the Arts & Humanities Research Council from 2021–23. A book exploring common themes within the diverse fictional visions, Fashion Fictions: Imagining Sustainable Worlds, is currently under contract for Bloomsbury Academic.
